Until I Break
Until I Break | Kara M Bietz
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Two boys: One is a star athlete and top student with a deep-seated need to prove himself. The other is a chip-on-his-shoulder quarterback who will never settle for second best. When gunshots echo through the halls of Broadmeadow High School, whose finger is on the trigger? A year before the shooting, Sam North has a bright future as well as a problem that nobody else seems to see—Ace Quinn, his neighbor and teammate. For years, Ace has been bullying and harassing Sam, yet he's managed to deftly conceal his actions and threats from the rest of the world. As Ace's secret rage intensifies, Sam becomes more desperate to stop him. But how far will he go? And what if Ace takes his threats even farther?

Mehso-so

Well written book, however, my expectations were too high.The summary sells this as a novel about a school shooting, when it's not. It's about how Sam is bullied constantly & his relationship with Marnie. The point of action is very brief & disappointing. The ending was very unrealistic & rushed. I enjoyed seeing how being bullied can push someone psychologically to a horrible extent. Not boring. Recommend it to youngsters & victims of bullying.

Come-read-with-me @WJCintron This sounds like a great book! Stacked! 4y
WJCintron @Come-read-with-me it is! I'm halfway through. It's not about the actual shooting but about their relationship and you want to know what really happened. Well written. Easy to read. 4y

I just started reading this one, because Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, is very slow paced and I need to give it a little break. As soon as I started reading it captured me. I NEVER read anything about school shootings, but I bought this one because it's not about the shooting. It's the story of two kids while in that situation. I think I'll enjoy it. I hope not to be disappointed. Wish me luck! 😄 How is your Saturday going? Happy readings!
