This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp
3.0
This book left me with an heartache, but also with the knowledge that family will be and stay family, no matter what.
Loved the main characters a lot. They are so diverse and the way the story is told, from the different perspectives is nice.
I would love to have more flashbacks, the book could have been a bit longer for me, but I liked the way the relations shape during the book.
There where some doubts, that's why I gave the book 3 stars. For example; that Sylv is suprised that her brother comes to rescue her, was weird for me, because the flashbacks they both have are rich with beautiful memories.
I also didn't really understand why Tyler is shooting everyone. Because he was in fights with Tomás? Because his mother died? Because his sister was chasing her dreams? Because his sister is lesbian? .. Just WHY?!
What also grossed me out was the way Tomás is hitting on a girl while there is a shooting going on. That part could have been left out for me, it added nothing to the story.
All together this book was gripping. It pulled me in and made me read this book witin a day.
