What People are Saying:
“[A] compelling story of terror, betrayal, and heroism…This brutal, emotionally charged novel will grip readers and leave them brokenhearted.”—Kirkus
“THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS is simultaneously heart pounding and heart wrenching. Every words hits frighteningly close to home and is tragically too familiar. This book will leave you asking questions that we as a society should have answered a long time ago.”—Julie Murphy, author of DUMPLIN’
“As long as there are Newtowns and Columbines there will be a desperate need for gripping, well-written, and poignant novels like this one… Hopefully a book like THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS will make the problem more real to a generation that still has the time, energy, and willpower to do something about it."—Todd Strasser, author of GIVE A BOY A GUN and FALLOUT
