of having teenagers face real-life implications of their decisions and interactions and exploration of suicide and their social interactions, this book fails the execution. Clay, the protagonist listening to the tapes, is uninteresting and his commentary through listening to the tapes adds little to nothing to the final message. Hannah, the girl who recorded the tapes, is not a compelling character and her ultimate tragedy falls flat to make the reader really care that she did what she did. I think it’s ridiculous to think Hannah
understanding of a teenage girl perspective and adds little depth to Hannah or explore her emotions outside of strange rage and petty energy. Maybe the best character out of this is Tony, but even then he’s a solid 3/5 star character: the best of the worst. I’d like to see this concept re-explored with a more fleshed-out character and exploration of suicide: a mental illness that warps reality and is not meant to be weaponized to seek revenge against teenagers??
