I enjoyed it, but it didn't really match with me. Liked the earlier parts of the book better. The talk of school shootings was too much for me. It was too real and I almost stopped reading due to how disturbing it is. To be honest it would probably be fine for people that do not live in the US, but if you do it is not a easy read.
