I understand what the author was going for, but I feel that the tone was rather inappropriate. The sensitive topic of school shootings and gun violence was not handled well, it was too sensational, an attention grabber to pick the book up in the first place. There are other heavy handed topics that are brought up later with the intent of merely keeping the readers attention and not discussing them. The characters felt like oatmeal, none of them were too interesting. There were many details of this story that added nothing to the plot or interest of the reader. Towards the end of the book what little character development there was- was totally nullified by the conclusion of the story. I read it in one sitting, a great book for a rainy day but overall I would give this a 2/10 for concept, and maybe a 4/10 for the book overall.
