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.

Sinceramente mi aspettavo che questo libro non mi sarebbe piaciuto per niente, essendo che avevo visto delle recensioni da 5 e altre da 1.
A me è piaciuto molto nonostante non trattasse temi facili.
Lo consiglio molto e sono felice di avergli dato una possibilità.
Mi è piaciuto molto anche lo switch del font anche se ci ho messo un po’ per abituarmici.

_forestofpages's review against another edition

Having only two POVs was boring to me. Also, obviously Hannah is a very unreliable narrator who uses these tapes to justify her own death. I don't agree with that or the way this story glorifies and justifies suicide. As a survivor of an attempt myself I can't understand why anyone would write this book; mishandling this topic and aim it toward such a young demographic. The show was a lot worse though.

This book failed its mission. While it is supposed to be a cautionary tale about how we treat others, it ends up being the story of someone who was not taught how to cope with life crisis and tragedy. I relate to the character with some of my life circumstances. However, people need to be taught how to handle crisis. Suicide is not an option.
