Why I'm waiting:
- This book sounds amazing, and also very emotional. I've only ever read one book that discussed a school shooting, and even then, it was months after the event.
- I have an ARC of this, and will be reading it very soon.
Are you waiting for this book? Have you already read it? Let me know :)

"This is Where it Ends" was pretty good - there are a lot of different POVs switching fairly frequently that gets a little frustrating, but I think you'll like the book :)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realised it had multiple PoVs - I hoping they're distinctive. I'm going to pick this one up this week I think, and am glad you enjoyed it!
