“There is one thing I’ve learned about people: they don’t get that mean and nasty overnight. It’s not human nature. But if you give people time, eventually they’ll do the most heartbreaking stuff in the world.”

After thinking about it,  I don’t think there is a better quote to depict the synopsis of this book.

Teenagers don’t bully other teenagers because they’re evil. They do it because something triggered them; and even though their actions shouldn’t be justified by these factors, it can’t be denied that it happens.

Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley Book Review (non-spoiler)

Rating: 5/5
Publisher: Atheneum
Date: 2011

This book was exactly what I wanted in a YA contemporary novel.

It’s the type of book that leaves you numb after reading it. That makes your chest ache with sadness, anger and anticipation. It makes you want to hurl the book against a wall, makes you want to cry out loud and skip towards the end to see what’s going to happen.
