4.0

It’s definitely a super dark story because it’s about a bus crash in which a lot of children die and how it is dealt with. So you should definitely know that going in. However it is about a small community getting through that and getting through it together. It’s told from multiple perspectives but not too many perspectives where you get lost. So I highly recommend it as a great book. I couldn’t give it five stars because there were some perspectives I didn’t feel like needed to be included but otherwise it was great
