Synopsis

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….

Goodreads review by Sara on February 09, 2020

I really liked the concept of this and thought the author did an excellent job of focusing on the victims and not the shooter. The fact that she blurred the name of the shooter in particular was a great move. I read this very quickly and did enjoy it however overall it was pretty middle of the road......more

Goodreads review by jay on June 21, 2022
