This book made me angry. I'm going to borrow something from a review, which is a pretty freakin' apt description of this sensationalized, one-dimensional novel: "I think this might be a classic case of an author who tries to write a story that's bigger than their ability to tell and trying to incorporate too much without any rhyme or reason to it." This book uses diversity for 'the sake of', without thoughtful, meaningful consideration for the characters as well as uses the events of a school shooting in the most caricature-type way. It feels insulting, and dare I say it? Offensive.
Please read the review below, since the reviewer explains every one of the issues with great detail in a far better way than I could at this current moment. It's completely worth a minute of your time on how a New York Times best-selling book fails on what it should have done and was meant to do.
