Parkland

This is an in depth look at the birth of the March for Our Lives organization, from the day of the shooting through the midterm elections. Through interviews with some of the key students, professionals in different areas, and parents and students from Douglas HS, Cullen brings the threads together and helps the reader understand the impetus, the tactics, the goals, and the strategies of this organization birthed as a result of the horrific shooting at Douglas High School that resulted in the deaths of 17 of their classmates and a change in the trajectory of their lives from that point on. What could have been a devastating and depressing read was actually a hopeful one that left me with great confidence in our future leaders.

I loved learning about how the kids of Parkland created a movement after a tragedy but the writing and delivery was just meh. Cullen is so repetitive and provides so much unneeded information.
