As you all know from my last post. I am reading, "The Hate List" by Jennifer Brown. I started around a week ago and im nearly through the entire novel which has almost 500 pages. I am attached to this book. I have even started reading on the bus. Not only is it entetaining in the beginning, but what I also really like is that he keeps the story fast pase and it doesn't get boring. I find many times that each author I read has, at some time the story gets long and super slow.
The story also takes breaks and goes back into flashbacks and elaborates more on the background of the story. The most recent one has taken place right after Valerie got back from her first day back at her highschool. Her mother was the first one in the front of the pick-up line. Brown says how Valerie was so concerned about how getting out of the school that she ran past her locker and left all of her homework inside. Brown adds that Valerie and her mother had shared a laughing moment and for the first time since the shotting Val's cheeks actually hurt from laughing so hard.
Then the flashback came.
It was of her and she was back in the hospital with her family and a couple of police officers. There was live coverage of the shooting on the small tv that the officers were watching. Valerie came to and was so confused about what had happened. Her mother was taken out of the room because she was crying herself. It was just Val and her little brother, Frankie left in the hospital room. Frankie had to tell Val that her boyfriend had not only shot (and killed) many people, but also shot Val. She had trouble dealing with all of the news and only a couple days after started seeing Dr. Hieler, her trusty counselor.
Will she be able to make it through her first trimester?
