Resumen del Editor

For listeners of Marieke Nijkamp's This Is Where It Ends, a powerful and timely contemporary classic about the aftermath of a school shooting.

Five months ago, Valerie Leftman's boyfriend, Nick, opened fire on their school cafeteria. Shot trying to stop him, Valerie inadvertently saved the life of a classmate, but was implicated in the shootings because of the list she helped create. A list of people and things she and Nick hated. The list he used to pick his targets.

Now, after a summer of seclusion, Val is forced to confront her guilt as she returns to school to complete her senior year. Haunted by the memory of the boyfriend she still loves and navigating rocky relationships with her family, former friends, and the girl whose life she saved, Val must come to grips with the tragedy that took place and her role in it, in order to make amends and move on with her life.

Jennifer Brown's critically acclaimed novel now includes the bonus novella Say Something, another arresting Hate List story.

10/10 I've listened to this audiobook probably 4×

The narrator is top notch I love her so much seriously so amazing thx

The theme.

It’s an amazing story. It has a great ending. I enjoy how it challenges the reader’s perspective.

Loved It

I read a lot of reviews from people saying this was a must read for teens to teach them about bullying, which honestly made me hesitate to buy it.

I now see where they were coming from, but I loved it for so many more reasons. The writing is inovative and meaningful, and the main character is relatable and real. Don't hesitate buying this book, it's worth it.

Great Story

Hate list changed my life... It is a must read. An insight into a shooting.

Beautifully written.A tragic love story,and growth

A beautifully written story about a young girl facing the harsh reality that is bullying in high school. It tells how Valerie is able to over come her own nightmare when the realization that she is not alone after tragedy occurs possibly at her own hand.A must read!

A must read!

WOWZA...just WOW! I don't know what to say other than this should be REQUIRED reading for teens!
What a powerful story about the aftermath of a school shooting! The guilt, blame & how everyone is affected directly or indirectly. People really should be conscious about how they treat others because you really don't know how it's affecting people's lives. This book will be forever etched into my brain

An enlightening read for all young adults.

What made the experience of listening to Hate List the most enjoyable?

This book showed me a side of the victims of "school shootings" that I never thought of before. What I learned from this book will really help me, as well as my "young adult" daughters, to understand how their peers think and feel, and how not to judge a person unless you have walked in that person's shoes.

Any additional comments?

I recommend that all high school - college age students read this.

Outstanding

absolutley amazing story and performance. emotional and well told story that let's you grow with the main character.

Couldn't put it down

Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster and keep the tissue box close. Must Read!

I Didn't HATE It, But Not Super In Love With It...

If you could sum up Hate List in three words, what would they be?

I hate questions like "if you could sum this up in three words." I'm not a beauty pageant contestant, I don't think like that.
This book is about a girl in high school who's dealing with life after her boyfriend commits a school shooting then turns the gun on himself. Real-life scenario stuff. However, I was expecting some over-the-top issues to arise, unrealistic obstacles for her to overcome, ridiculously excessive hatred from her classmates. You know - drama!
Yeah, not with this book. Reading it was like literally sitting next to a real-life girl and listening to her talk to her therapist. The kids at school were wary of her but nothing dramatic. Her mom was worried about her but not freaky obsessed. She had problems but worked them out just like you or I would. She made friends with someone she used to be enemies with, but just casually. She found out she loved painting but... ~~YAWN~~
The book was interesting enough that I listened with mild attentiveness. The ending didn't affect me one way or the other. Whatever. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but if it was more than about $6 then I paid too much. Good heavens I hope I didn't use a credit on it...

Any additional comments?

Maybe I'm just too much of a Gossip Girl / Pretty Little Liars chick. You can narrate to me all day long about mundane daily life as long as it's chock full of overblown conflicts and outrageous solutions :D
