nerdyfantasyreader 's review for:

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
3.0
challenging dark reflective sad tense slow-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I would like to preface this review by saying that this awkwardness very important topic to discuss in media and I fully support there being more stories like it.
However... if you are going to write a book surrounding suicide, do not treat it as if it is a game.
Asher's approach to Hannah's suicide and how she talks about it makes it seem like it is all a game and not someone killing themselves. 
I felt that this book did not approach suicide in the right way.
