Woah. OK... I don't think I knew how to react to what I just read because I rewrote thus review many times lol so I gave myself time, to process it. So this book has good writing, I feel that it is kind of easy to comprehend what is happening in this book but I do not know if the characters are that well written out... I cannot connect with anyone or have any emotions towards of regarding the situation or character whatsoever. Hannah Baker is being set up as the sweet girl while she is basically ruining the life of a handful of people who do not really deserve it (some are valid).
The message spread by this book doesn't seem to be very clear as well as it basically conveys that just because life gets hard you should kill yourself. I prefer the alternate ending. Though I am not a fan of how In the alternate ending Asher makes it seem like getting psychiatric help means you're unwell as it would discourage any readers who actyally do need some help. Because from what I see reading these reviews there are many who read this book during a hard time. 
Overall, It was an ok book, I don't like it so much that I would read it again though.
