hyaxinth 's review for:

Shooter by Caroline Pignat
3.5
emotional hopeful lighthearted reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The book plays on clichés ( the troubled jock, awkward nerd, overchieving Asian, weird and quirky geek). The plot was well executed, I feel the implied romance is forced. The characters should’ve been given more development and maybe a deeper exploration on their friendships before you put them in romantic relationships. Overall, it’s a fairly *meh* book. It’s like if A.I wrote a book about a school shooting if it only ever watched the news without the actual perspectives of someone who was in a school shooting. The book had great plot twists and there are a lot of multiple perspectives.
