This is not a feel good book, in fact it is depressing. However, the book is amazing. Ms. Picoult does a great job in bringing the emotions of each character to light, revealing their inner thoughts and their perspectives. Great book for a book club discussion.

Spellbinding. Realistic. Sad but something every parent should know and recognize in their child so we have fewer school shootings. The writer was compassionate in trying to know the mind of the youth
