Review: This is a powerful and emotional book and the author nailed it with the story. This book was just wonderful and the author did an amazing job tackling the talk about gun violence, losing family, friends, and yourself, plus talking about emotional problems. I was hooked with this book from page 1 because the way the author describes the plot and scenes were very descriptive so it wasn't at all hard for the reader to think hard or imagine it in their heads. I loved how powerful and emotional this book was. It's something most people don't talk about. This book was out of my comfort zone meaning not a fantasy or romance book but I'm glad that the publisher sent me this book. The characters were the main part of why this book was great.
When Johanna finds out that she killed her mom when she was two she pretty much loses her true self and wants to stay away from her love ones. Her boyfriend, best friends, and grandparents help her get through it when she was attacking herself. Usually, in most books I have read, the friends would just leave someone who is in a lot of pain and I love how the author included support characters giving the theme of family love/connections. My favorite part of this book was the supportive characters because they would always be there for Jo even though she was pushing them away. I also love how the author wrote the characters making it an emotional read.
This book was emotional with the talk about gun violence and losing your loved ones. I felt bad about the lie that Jo had to go through and how she got bullied with all the pressure she had. *SPOILER ALERT* The author did end this off with a good note. *END OF SPOILER* This book is one of my favorite contemporary books of this year and I totally recommend this to readers.
