This book has a sensitive subject matter.
The layout makes it seems hard to read, it's broken down into short bursts of story-line, that don't always merge together.
The story takes you through 4 students, a school shooting and their connection to the former student who is the shooter.
Each student tells their story in short 2-3 minute story bursts including present day time and flashbacks.
The
novel itself takes place in just under 1 hour, so the violence in the
book comes quickly and hits you strongly. it's an amazing story.
With the current social climate, it's a heart wrenching read.
As far as where it hits in age appropriateness, I would be more than willing to allow my teenagers (13/16) to read this book.
