I really liked this book and didn't see one specific part of the ending coming! having the pictures that Teddy drew was a super nice touch and I would definitely read more from this author!

 This book devoid of logic

The first 70%ish of this book was actually intriguing, I was so pumped on how the story goes, but everything went downhill from that. The ending feels rushed and devoid of logic. I'm disappointed, I actually looking forward liking this book, because it got me hooked on the first hundred pages. This book was also interactive with the illustrations from the character's drawing, and it was very graphic 100% gave me the fright!

There was one scene from this book that was so preposterous and it was my last straw, like you couldn't even justify it: the character thought a baby powder was a heroin, that was my 13th reasons why.
