I didn't hate the book but I don't like it as well. This book talks about suicide and it had tackled a bit of truth about what's actually happening to a person who's suicidal and depressed but personally, as someone who had been through it, I don't think this is it, but that's only for me since people's experience varies. This may not be true to me but to others, it could be. I think this book makes suicide look like it's a great tool for a person:s "final revenge", to get back at the people who did us wrong by doing it and thinking, "I'll make them sorry when I'm gone." Which, for me, kind of encourages a person to think about suicide and I don't think that's something I'd want others to experience.

This is not something I'd recommend to a person who's been going through depression to read. And again, this is just how I perceive this topic and it might not be true to everyone. I think this might've been better if it was written based on Hannah's POV.
