‘Day One’ by Abigail Dean
I really didn’t like this book – I never actually got into it at all. I finished it, but only because I rarely give up on a book.
It’s about a school shooting. The actually incident itself is never explained in detail, the book is more about the effect on individuals and the community.
It follows a couple of characters: Marty, a girl involved in the shooting (or not); and Trent, another local who believes the whole thing is a bunch of lies.
I found the book quite confusing at times, it jumps between characters and moments in time, which normally I’m ok with, but with this I never felt comfortable reading. I just found it all a bit hard work.
