Full disclosure, I had already watched the series adaptation and knew I liked it. It was really good to listen to this one, due to the nature of the story, it felt like Hannah was also talking to us. 

Obviously it is an upsetting subject, but it is done really well. It doesn't shy away from the difficult topics. It's important people are heard, and that is very much put across. 

Considering it is pretty short, there is a lot packed in and you still feel like you know the characters. At least through Hannah and Clay's eyes. Very well done. Though I would have perhaps liked more insight into how the others felt who listened to the tapes.

i picked this book up for the first time as an adult because we were discussing its problematic netflix depiction in one of my classes—the book is so wonderfully done in comparison and feels essential as a tool to remind young people that they can truly never know how their words and actions might affect someone and impact their life. jay asher sends this message in such a unique format that kept me hooked and turning the page.
