For books in verse, here comes another phenomenal read! Will has to make a very tough decision here. Does he follow the rules that he has been taught all his life? Can he handle what he believes he is meant to do? It is absolutely crazy to think that this whole story takes place over a few minute elevator ride. And written in verse, Reynolds does an amazing job portraying every emotion going through Will's mind and body. As the elevator stops on each floor, Will is faced with someone from his past who makes Will question even more what it means to do the "right thing." What does following the rules really mean? What are the real consequences either way? Hard to put this one down because with each new character, you want to know how Will reacts and what he is ultimately going to decide. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending but after sitting with it for a day or so, I realized that ending it in this way allowed Reynolds to really relay to readers how tough of a decision Will is making and just how complicated teenage gun violence really is. Highly recommend!
