This is the fictional account of a teenaged mass shooter told in seventeen short stories, each written by a different author, and all told from a different point of view. Each voice had a different piece of the unsolvable puzzle that was the shooter. There is so much talent in this collection. In a collection of seventeen stories you would expect one or two duds, but every single story here is fantastic. SO GOOD.

One of the most interesting writing styles that I have read for my own personal enjoyment. I really enjoyed seeing how one event affected some many people lives.
This was a really causal read for me, but I enjoyed every single moment. When I found my way back to the book I would easily be locked in, and at times I would sit with my mouth open trying to connect plot point to the different chapters.

This was an excellent collection of short stories. Instead of recounting the tale of how the school shooting occurred, this follows several perspectives on the shooter, Kirby. This was heartbreaking and real. There were several stories I didn't enjoy and so that's why it's not a 5 star read, but I highly recommend it because of the variety of authors displayed in this.

This book was truly heartbreaking to read but it was the realty of the world today. I enjoyed the different perspectives, it added to more of the heartbreaking.

This book so unlike any other. I absolutely loved how each different perspective truly felt like just that, different. Each perspective in this book is written by a different author. It truly feels like you are reading different perspectives. I also loved how well they discussed the issue of school shootings. I thought this book was a great read.
