The Lucky Ones (YA)

May is a lucky one, but she doesn't feel like one, every since her brother, the genius, was a victim of a school shooting.  She feels responsible for what happened, and doesn't see how anybody else can possibly feel the way she does.  Zach became a social outcast the day his mother decided to represent the shooter, his friends are ghosting him, and his girlfriend left.  Than Zach and May meet each other when their schools are joined and hit it off, but they don't find out each others roles until later, can their friendship weather the biggest storm of them all?
This book has a refreshing and realistic take on school shootings, it that it is though the eyes of a survivor,  May should have died that day but was spared, and this book takes you though all her grief, panic attacks and all the symptoms of PTSD and survivors grief.  It is obvious the author did her homework and got it right , and her notes at the end are also well worth the read.  I really liked this book.
