"Pretty isn't everything, but sometimes ugly is." - Val Val & Nick are getting bullied at school and both have difficult home lives. Val creates a notebook with a "hate list." They add to it all the names of kids who bully them, and all the others in their lives that make them miserable. Val an...
I didn't know how much I would be invested with this book when I started reading it. I was amazed at how strong Valerie became as the story progressed. Valeria didn't think her notebook that she dubbed the hate list would be part of the reason her boyfriend Nick killed people. The hate list was jus...
I liked this book. It's about the aftermath of a school shooting, where the shooter was actually the boyfriend of the female protagonist. The book's about her struggles and recovery, and her relationship in general with all the other characters.Now, that sounds like an awesome theme to use for a boo...
Valerie's grief and self-hatred and her whole journey dealing with the school shooting and being Nick's girlfriend are very nuanced.

Synopsis Five months ago, Valerie Leftman's boyfriend, Nick, opened fire on their school cafeteria. Shot trying to stop him, Valerie inadvertently saved the life of a classmate, but was implicated in the shootings because of the list she helped create. A list of people and things she and Nick hate...
Initial reaction: There aren't a lot of books that make me cry. This one made me teary eyed in places.It's a book that covers many difficult subjects and emotions, and there are definitely a lot of times where Valerie was a difficult character to follow, but man - her emotions, experiences - all fel...
