This book left me feeling slimy. 😬
This book has the potential to be very dangerous to those (especially young adults, teens, who are the target audience) struggling with suicide. It offers no solutions and no hope for anything other than revenge. It does provide an interesting look at the drama of high school and how your actions can effect those around you. But I don’t think the topic was dealt with in a helpful or hopeful manner. With delicate topics such as suicide, there has to be some tact and respect for those struggling with it and I did not feel like this book would be beneficial for someone contemplating their life, but could perhaps encourage their ideation.
