Out of Darkness by Ashley Hope Pérez
3.0
Gut-wrenching. Heart-breaking. Masterful, and beautifully written, beautifully woven.
But also that knowing, the whole book, that this would circle around the explosion that is still the biggest school disaster in American history, and knowing that that would not be the worst of what would happen. Dread of what was to come and the realization of that dread makes this not a book I would recommend. But for those who are willing to face the worst of what people can do to each other in order to experience a novel that is worthy in every sense, this is the book.
