Thought provoking book but slow read.

Bra bok. Gripande. Gillar att man får följa olika perspektiv på skjutningen och jag får sympati för de flesta.

I read this partially because of its reputation as one of the most banned books in school
whst freaks me out is the ban is because of teh word ereaction not because of the date rape that happens on the same page,

This showed that people are complex, none of us are even close to perfect and kids can be brutally cruel.

Jodi Picoult just writes a good damn book. This book was so emotional and well written. I didn’t see the twist coming at all. The only ick I had was that the chapters were sooooo long! Well worth it though!

"There were two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations."
"Taking credit for what a child did well also meant accepting responsibility for what they did wrong."

In typical Picoult style, this book is well-written, easy to read, and addresses real-life issues. As with all her books, Picoult adds a little twist at the end, which is easy to guess if you are familiar with her writing. But it kept me hooked until the very end, turning page after page, long past my bedtime on several nights.
