This is yet another YA book that I read to be "cool" for my students. This book is about a couple who is bullied and the struggle the girl has to cope after her boyfriend takes matters into his own hands and shoots the bullies and himself. Is she guilty? Is she a hero?
I liked the premise of the book and I really like that my students are reading it. I hope that some of them will realize that they are not alone in being bullied and they can survive. I also hope that some potential bullies read it and realize that what they are doing is very hurtful. And I hope that some neutral kids will read it and decide to stand up for the bullied instead of being bystanders.
I thought that the end kind of wrapped up too quickly and there were some things that the author did in the end that I really didn't agree with.
I would recommend this book because the author is a Lee's Summit graduate and a current resident of Liberty. Buy local! Support local authors!
