This was my second book by this author and I plan to read all of her books.

I had no idea about this event and I’m glad I know about it now. It was sad but still hopeful and you’re rooting for the characters even as they are flawed but mainly trying their best. You know they’re not all gonna make it but it’s still sad and you still can’t help but think about all the young people who could have lived these actual stories. 

It was a little hard to get into at he beginning trying to understand who each person was but the second half more than made up for it.
