Publisher Description
From New York Times bestseller Kody Keplinger comes an astonishing and thought-provoking exploration of the aftermath of tragedy, the power of narrative, and how we remember what we've lost.
It's been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre. Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story--that she died proclaiming her faith.
But it's not true.
I know because I was with her when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight . . . but I'm not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did--and didn't--happen that day.
Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up . . .
Customer Reviews
Why Ashley why
Why did everyone believe Ashley she was on the floor practically dying and couldn’t see anything
Hmm
Throughout the book I was thinking “I understand the message but whats the point?” not about the book itself but rather about the plot, however, the ending was better than I expected. There was little details and things throughout the book that I didn’t like but overall it wasnt a bad book.
Seems based off the columbine massacre
This book seems weirdly familiar to the massage that happened at Columbine.
I wouldn’t read it again, I skipped a few pages in between because well there wasn’t a point to some of them, they seemed like fillers.
Read it and then read up on columbine .
