I did like the simple yet feesible writing of the author, but after coming from watching the show felt a bit dissapointed that the sequence of events from the book  was not followed in the show. Although I do understand why it was done that way because it made the descend of shaow and the story more appeasing to the visual audience. All in all a good fast paced book that bought me out of my reading slump.Would reccomend checking the trigger warnings first though. The topics that the book deals with is heavy and reader discreation is advised.

Holy wow. I literally couldn't stop listening to this audiobook. It's not the kind of story you love, but it's powerful and has such a strong impact.

While this book can be entertaining for a YA novel, it is not a good representation of mental health. Suicide is not a form of revenge and should not be represented as such. Hannah is a child, yes, but putting her suicide on other children’s shoulders and manipulating their emotions is not depression, it’s cruelty.

Also, her exposing a girl’s sexual assault and hyping up the blame-game on an innocent boy just to go “Oh, yeah, you don’t belong on my suicide tapes but I still sort of blame you for not saving me even though I turned you away and did not express my feelings” is fucked up.

Would I reread this again? I don’t know. Most likely not, but Thirteen Reasons Why did have quite the chokehold in middle school and high school. Maybe I will revisit it in 5 years. The book does create good discussion. I’ll give it that.
