Really loved the audiobook in the beginning of the year and is a story that has stuck with me since. I was really grateful to have found this at my local library - an amazing graphic novel.

William, a young kid living in gang infested city sees his brother killed in front of him. He gets a gun and heads down an elevator to hit back. Along the way several murdered family and friends get on the elevator and force Will to confront the truth of cyclical violence.

Disturbing, sad, and compelling. Great read with lovely watercolor art.
