Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
4.25
dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I recently saw that Nineteen Minutes was one of the most banned books in the 23-24 school year. This, of course, made me want to read it, and I was not disappointed. 

This book was a very thought provoking read and provided commentary about the making of a mass shooting incident at a high school and how the aftermath of a tragedy can impact everyone in a small town in many different ways. 

All of the characters were fleshed out extremely well, and I was questioning the "good guys" and the "bad guys" until the very end. I have a feeling this won't be a book that I forget anytime soon.
