Book 1 of the #24in48readathon done. I read this years ago & had remembered little more than the fact that I loved it. Being a teacher, a school shooting seems at the same time to be both terrifying & unreal/far away. The layers in this are heartbreaking & yet beautiful to unpack. Coupland novels are either disturbingly hysterical or devastating - chalk this one up as devastating. Love it with all the broken pieces of my heart 💔 #24in48 @24in48
