Nineteen Minutes is the tragic story of Josie and Peter, two best friends that grow apart due to popularity. From their seperation as friends on, each grow further and futher apart until one day they end up back together - laying on the ground of the locker room after Peter has gone on a rampage, shooting up the school and killing many of his classmates. What could drive someone to this point? This novel gets inside the minds of not only the loser of the school, Peter but the winner as well, Josie to see both sides of the popularity game in High School. This novel bounces between what led to such a tragedy and the present time, placing the framework of what if turning into what was.

This novel is well written and fast paced enough to keep somone turning from page to page. The only issues I have with the novel is some unsolved mysteries and the last chapter could have been a bit more filled out. All in all though it is a solid book that is a good read.
