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.

I watched the show before the book. I will say the show represented the book pretty well. I listened to the book on audio which was two different voices for Hannah and Clay which was nice. Obviously a heartbreaking story but a good read.

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.
