2009 book 150

Jennifer Brown's Hate List
I somehow got an ARC of this in the mail--thanks, folks at Little, Brown!--and had read a few reviews, all positive, and it seemed a fitting read for a rainy afternoon. It centers on a teenage girl who is returning to high school following a school shooting--where her boyfriend was the shooter. She and her classmates have to come to terms with the shooting and her part in it, which Brown manages to make believable. I had some mixed feelings about the end, but will admit to getting teary. A-/B+.
