This was not an easy book to read in light of recent events. I'm so glad this book exists.

I know I read this book like 8 months ago, but I'm kinda bored so I'm writing a review. This book was really really good, although it talked about a lot of heavy topics. I recommend this book to anyone, especially people who have gone through school shootings or similar situations.

The ending was sad, this whole dang book was sad lmao
