Synopsis

 10:05 am - Someone starts shooting 
 Thoughts 
 I rounded up from 3.5 starts to 4 stars because of the diversity in this novel. It felt like an actual school with people experiencing this trauma from many different perspectives and walks of life (Mexican, Muslim, lesbian. There's also a character with Lupus and another with an abusive father). While the different points of view can get a bit confusing, especially since they're all connected in some way, it's a reminder that those numbers we hear on the news when a mass shooting happens all have a story. They have memories and family and they have names worth being remembered. In between chapters, there are also more voices being added through texts, blogging, and Twitter. 
 It's chaotic, but that just rings truer to mass shooting events. 
 Thanks to Sourcebooks Fire for the ARC.
