This book is hard. To read. To review. To rate. To recommend. 
 (Did you notice those all started with r's? Alliteration!) 
 On the last note, I don't think I'd recommend this book. Not because it wasn't good, but because of the darkness. I couldn't recommend it to anyone. It's a book that you need to choose you want to read, and then suffer through the harshness of it all. If you get to the end, perhaps you'll be glad you read, or at least you won't regret. Perhaps, though, you'll hate it. Waste of time. Energy. Thought. Tears. 
 Yeah.... 
 I wouldn't say it was a waste. I would say it used a lot of all those things mentioned above, yes, but not a waste of them. No, not at all. 
 Back to the review, of which there isn't much of, to be honest. 
 Okay, scratch the review. 
 Personal Warning to anyone who may try to read this book: 
 It is depressing. Really depressing. 
 It's very harsh. 
 There's a lot of death. A whole lot of death. And hate. 
 There is also healing. 
 If you think you can handle a book that explores the aftermath of a school shooting, then go ahead and read this book. If you can't... then maybe find something else.
