Mercy Rule by Tom Leveen

4.0

I really like books with multiple POVs but this one had too many. We follow seven different characters and at times I forgot whose perspective I was reading from. One of the characters that we follow is the school shooter.

There was a lot of bullying throughout the book. A lot of the time there were homophobic remarks made.

I feel like the book was longer than it needed to be and I ended up finding it to get a little repetitive. I didn't like any of the characters except for Cadence. I loved how she was always happy and positive.

The shooting took place within the last 50 pages and showed very little of the aftermath. I was hoping to see the students healing but we end up with only a chapter or two of it.

I liked the little plot twist at the end and I honestly didn't see it coming.
