In the vein of This is Where It Ends, this exploration of grief and tragedy in the aftermath of a bomb explosion at a high school is sadly topical and powerfully heartrending. At 7:45 a.m. a bomb goes off at Edison High. Nine people die instantly. Fifteen are critically wounded. Twenty-two are injured. One is blinded. In the aftermath of the violent tragedy, survive struggle to cope and heal as a result of something they may never understand. Told in alternating points of view, Red Heart Tattoo deals with issues of violence, death, and trauma in the lives of five teens.

"5⭐This had me hooked and I finished it within 2 days. I was a little worried that it would water down the story once the reader is told who is involved in this bombing, but the characters held this interest throughout all of the pages.
Life changing moments, we're all we got, special tree, weight culture, high school cliques, stuffed animals, grief, parents are parents, and some spice 🌶️"
