Wow… I had a lot of emotions and inner turmoil while reading this book, and words are hard right now.
The topic of gun violence is one that, in my opinion, should be read about. The knowledge that the situations described in Lilith are all to real made my stomach hurt at times while reading.
I still feel very conflicted about certain parts of the book, but overall I’m satisfied with how things turned out for Elizabeth.
Triggers: school shooting (detailed enough to make me cringe, and I have a pretty strong stomach), child death, gun violence, murder, some mentions of SA. I’m probably forgetting some others, so check your triggers.
