Valerie Leftman has just gone back to school after a terrible tragedy that most people think she caused. The deaths of more than 5 people at Val's high school has darkened her sweet soul. Val cannot even think about being happy anymore. On her first day she tries to think about staying focused on school, but all she can think about is Nick her ex who killed himself after he shot other students. As you can tell, the first day back to the frightening high school where everything went down is tough for Val but most of all worth it.
What I like most about Valerie's character so far is that her emotions are clear. The author, Jennifer Brown, describes her as a weak, confused, lost teenage girl who has experienced what average teens haven't. I feel like the author really does develop the beginning of the book well, and I look forward to reading on.
