That alone definitely got my attention - like WAIT WHAT? PUT DOWN THE GUN, KID. This was definitely an interesting, powerful novel! Pretty heavy as we are following a narrator who has revealed right from the start that his plan for the day is to kill his former best friend and then himself. He slowly reveals his story and what has happened to get him to this day as he counts down the hours until he will pull the trigger. Before he does that he spends the day giving gifts to the four important people in his life - his elderly neighbor, his teacher, a girl he met handing out religious tracts and a boy from his school. Leonard Peacock wakes up on his 18th birthday with a plan to kill his former best friend and then take his own life. I received this from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
