This book made me aware of how sharp words and careless actions can crash a soul. Hanna’s death crushed my heart, she wasn’t dramatic, she was just  screaming for help.

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.
