@kidlitexchange #partner Thank you to #kidlitexchange for sharing the review copy of this book. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 That’s Not What Happened by Kody Keplinger. 3 years after a mass school shooting 6 survivors are still trying to pick up the pieces of a heart wrenching day. Six, well five, because in a small town hate is too much when people want to believe things happened one way when in reality, that isn’t how it happened at all. The struggles that each one of these survivors feel, the anxiety, the panic, and the strain of knowing becomes very real. Looking back through media and police reports one survivor realizes none of what was said is the truth. Setting in motion to tell the truth now, she realizes maybe the world just needed a story to hold onto. A lie set in motion to create a martyr, because the real world needs a reason, not the truth. Or do they? Review also posted on Instagram @borenbooks, Library Thing, Go Read, Goodreads/StacieBoren, Amazon, Twitter @jason_stacie and my blog at readsbystacie.com
