Go inside a heartbreaking fictional school shooting, minute-by-terrifying-minute. Everyone has a reason to fear the boy with the gun...

So good. It’s a little slow at first but it gets good immediately. The book is action packed the whole way through. I loved it!!!

Ups and downs. Overall, I did enjoy the book. I had moments where I couldn’t put it down due to suspense. The reason I’m only giving three stars is because the first few chapters I found it difficult to jump between 4 characters right off the bat. I also didn’t like the “tweets” and “blog posts” throughout. I found them unnecessary to the story and didn’t add anything to the story for me. I loved all of the characters and could really put myself in their shoes. The love and heartbreak throughout and all the different relationships makes it worth reading. Heartbreaking yet moving. Really makes you appreciate family, friends and the little things.

Very good book! Would definitely recommend!. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time!

The Best Of The Best.. This is one of my favorite books. It has brought me through a roller coaster of emotions and leaves me wanting more. I have grown to each character as if I really do know them. This book motivates me to cherish every moment I have with friends, family, and life overall.

Amazing. This book is amazing. It opens up topics people don’t typically speak about. It show different POVs and it really helps to understand the heartbreak of such tradgedys.

This Book was Amazing ❣️. This book is an amazing book and has a lot of action and is full of drama and tell how each character tries to protect each other but sometimes it's to late to save that person and it also had some very sad scenes in the story.Enjoy this AMAZING Book ❣️❣️❣️

Something you won’t put doen. I started this book at 11:32pm last night and I just finished it at 11:49pm. It’s that good. In a few minutes over 24 hours I consumed stories that are fiction, but still so real in today’s world. If you are an easy cryer, make sure you have some tissues nearby because you’ll be sure to cry from beginning to end.

A+. Loved how each chapter leaves you longing for more!!

Enjoyed!!!!!. My Review: Wow, wow, wow!!!!! I’m speechless!!!!! This book was by far the best book I have read this year. In fact, I am putting it on my Top 10 All Time Favorite Books List. It was just that great. This book was fabulously written and kept me on the edge of my seat from the very first page to the very last page. I first started this book as an ebook then switched to audiobook as I was trying to multi task. After that I ended up ditching the ebook all together and finishing this as an audiobook. Omg I’m so happy that I did that. The narrators really made this book good and made me feel like I was right there with every single character living this nightmare with them. They also did such a great job in making me feel every single emotion that each character felt at the time while this horrible tragedy was unfolding. This book was definitely a harder one for me as my son is going into high school next year and could experience this same exact situation. I don’t even know how I would even handle this situation let alone his a child would. The characters in the book were very brave and courageous. I also loved how the author alternated between the characters. The reader got to experience the different perspectives on the same event. I would definitely recommend this book to all the parents out there no matter what age your child is. I want to thank this author for writing such a great book that had a difficult theme to it. It was done with great delicacy and grace. In conclusion, the plot, the characters and all the twists in this book made this book an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 5 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This book was great.. Honestly, this is one of my favorite books. The characters were so diverse and the ending almost made me cry. The different perspectives showed each side of a story, piecing it together in your head without you realizing it. I recommend others to read this, but it's your choice.

I was totally invested.. i bought this book to read while on break for work, and i couldn’t stop reading! i read it in 3 days. I definitely recommend this book. It is a bit gruesome but in a kinda good way.

Amazing. Completely captivating yet heartbroken.

So sad!. I enjoyed reading every part of this book! Kept me wanting to know more. Very sad.

AMAZING read. Grab your tissues.

One of my favorites. I absolutely loved this book! I will definitely be recommending it to my friends. I bought this book less than a week ago and i finished it in 2 days! I will most likely be reading it again! It is also a great book to do for a project! Full of action, drama, suspense, romance. Be prepared to grab your tissues, stuffed buddy, and some popcorn because this book made me cry so many times!!! It is a must read!!!!! ❤️

AMAZING!!!!. This book was absolutely amazing! When I finished a chapter, I wanted to keep reading because the author is just so good at leaving u hanging. It was sad, suspenseful, and kind of scary because it's something that can actually happen to you. The author better make more books because I know that I'm never going to find another book like this again.

💞😭. It was amazing

Super sad. It’s a very, very sad book... but it has such great insight into what many kids have gone through with school shootings. It’s so terrible. But she shows that at the end of the day, all hero’s don’t wear capes, and that there is always tomorrow.

GET THIS BOOK. This book is amazing you should definitely read it I finished it in two days and I hate reading but I loved this book

Very good and interesting, but a bit pretentious.. The book was good and interesting. The characters were all interesting and their stories really touched your heart but the books pretentiousness and forced profoundness took some of the edge off. There were times where I found myself rolling my eyes or sucking my teeth at it, but overall it was a good read and pulled on ones heartstrings.

great read. phenomenal book

Great Book!. I really enjoyed this novel and you probably will too!

Fast, keeps you hooked, kind of read. So real. So sad.

OMG OMG OMG. This book was amazing!!!!!! I finished it in 3 hours !!!!!!! Highly recommend this book!!!

Amazing. This book taught me so much about the world around me. I have never been a reader my entire life and I decided to read this book on a whim. It was the best decision I have ever made because I am reading more and more!! Thank you for this incredible book!

OMG READ THIS. This was a perfect book. I must warn if you aren’t in the mood to cry don’t even pick up this devastating book. This made me so worked up and is the only book that has ever left me sad for a week after reading (witch is a compliment). Read this if you want to become a better person in general.

Amazing Read. I started this book and didn’t put it down until I finished it—it took about 6 hours. I loved the diversity and the backgrounds for each individual character. I was super confused for the first few chapters about who was related to who, but I eventually figured it out lol. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Heartbreaking. An intense story that keeps you reading. That’s all that has to be said.

AMAZING. This book is amazing! Make sure you have tissues ready!

Amazing. Great book, this book kept me on the edge of my seat!

Eh. I bought this book because it sounded interesting and the reviews made it sound good. I didn’t find the book realistic enough... Too much diversity in a small town... and the name of the school being Opportunity? Blech. It was an easy read. Didn’t take long. But wasn’t worth it in the end.

Amazing. "This is Where it Ends" is by far one of the most amazing books I've read. I'm very hard to please and picky on books and this had me wanting to keep reading and reading and I didn't want to book to finish. I recommend this book for anyone over the age of 14. It is truly an amazing book.

Awesome book. This book is just what I've been searching for. I read the whole thing it 3 days. I just could not put it down. The anticipation & suspense happen right away. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND.

Marieke at the top of their game. The synopsis may make some question the book at first, but dive in and you’ll find some of the most beautiful, heart-wrenching characterization in a prose that works perfectly. Every character is so deeply interesting and the events so well broken down the only times I put this book down was to move from place to place reading. I cannot recommend this novel more.

Amazing. Would read again
