The Hate List By Jennifer Brown




Have you every said that you hate someone?  Have you every casually said that you could just kill someone for something they did?  You probably didn't mean for anyone to take these comments literally did you?  What would you do if one of your friends did take you seriously and actually killed the people you had mentioned.  That's what happens to Valerie... 

This is a great book that deals with some very important issues. 

Synopsis from Barnes and Noble

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.

Here is a book trailer from You Tube for Hate List.
