There is a "reader's guide" with some spoilers, should not look at it in advance!

This book was so fantastic. Jodi captures a teenager's mindset so incredibly well. Although she works as an omnipresent narrator, the characters are distinct and unique. Jodi loves an 11th hour twist, and this book was no exception. I highly recommend this book, and I recommend it even more if you can go in blind. I did, and I was blown away.

P.S.
I've read Mad Honey, and had no idea Jordan was a recurring character!! It was such a pleasant surprise!

Using this book as a source for my bachelor thesis about gun control, eyy. I really enjoyed the book and I loved to analyze all gun scenes and issues throughout the book.
