This is definitely not a book for everyone.
Its a subject matter that is 'real' and will effect you emotionally due to children being shot and killed.
I knew I would have to put on my big girl panties to read this, which I did, however it still it was poignant, heartbreaking and sometimes came over as cold.
There were many POV to this story and each portrayed what they saw or experienced with many social media activities going on.
Its just that there was something that bothered me, that was the lack of warmth in some of the children who were dead, the reporting of this was sometimes cold hearted, maybe the author didn't intend that, but it did come across to me like that at times as I was quite invested within the pages.
Nontheless, this was a book I have been trying to reach to read and I am glad I did.
Thank you SOURCEBOOKS Fire via Net GALLEY for my copy

Sounds interesting. Not so sure I could emotionally handle reading it though.

Had a lump in my throat through most of it
I had a hard time connecting to many of the characters in the book. I felt they lacked depth and emotion so I understand what you mean about the cold heartedness.

Not a book that has depth or empathy I thought
