That's Not What Happened
by Kody Keplinger
This book has had many mixed reviews, but for me this book was epitomal. This shook me with its tragedy and raw emotions. Shootings have become a common event in our lives these days that strike us with horror and heartbreak.
Three years after the shooting at Virgil High School, Lee and others that survived are still dealing with it while the town has moved on. Her best friend was turned into a martyr from a lie. Now she's ready to tell the truth. Gathering letters about that day and about the people lost from the survivors, she hopes to illuminate people about what really happened and how they are working through it.
This came to me as unique. The POV came from a survivor, a person who was right tin the middle of it and still trying to make it. You go through all of it with her.
This book was raw and real and incredible. Hitting several sensitive topics all at once. I find this to be an important read that gives an insight that you could never have imagined. A fantastic book.
