I truly don’t know why it took me so long to finally pick up this book but omg it was beautiful 🥺 like truly heartbreaking but still beautiful and hopeful! This book is about so much but the heart of the story is love. Finding love, accepting love in all its forms, and letting yourself love. While the main storyline was Hannah & Baker coming to terms with their feelings for each other and learning to reconcile those feelings with everything that they’ve been told love should be by the church and the world, it was also about platonic, familial, and self love. Every type of love is important and learning that is so crucial. And while these characters were messy and complicated, it was so easy to root for them all every step of the way!

This book...it was a rollercoaster of emotions. I laughed, I cried (more like sobbed), and then smiled till my cheeks hurt. Might update this review later when I have more words.

i’ve never been so emotional in my life wow i laughed, cried, and smiled with these characters the whole way through this book. i saw myself in them and learned from them as well. i can’t believe it took me this long to pick this book up!! but im so so SO happy and grateful that i finally did. i’ll forever love the sick pack!!! joanie she holds a special place in my heart. and yes i absolutely LOVED hannah as well. also who wouldn’t be in love with baker??? wally and luke are the type of people that anyone would want in their life. and clay he has his flaws but dont we all? i can honestly say i dont have a favorite out of them bc i love them all so so much for so many different reasons.
