It is finals week at a fictional southern university when a shooting takes place in the library. This book follows three characters who are affected by the shooting. Rose is a freshman who is trying to shed her difficult childhood. Eddie teaches English and is trying to save his marriage...or maybe just figure out his marriage. Eli is also a student but he becomes the shooter. The story moves forward and backward focusing on a different character each chapter. I had some confusion trying to follow who was doing the talking as it bounced around from 2nd person POV. But the overall story is interesting and the characters are memorable. The shooter's story, is perhaps the most compelling.
