First off, let me start by saying if you don't think you'll like it because it sounds depressing, at least give it a try because it was an amazing book. People always judge books before they even try to read them. Anyway, onto my review. I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. I love the way that Hannah chose to tell about her high school life. This book just proves that you can't believe every rumor you hear. There are always two sides to every story, what people say happened and what actually happened. Rarely ever are they the same story. This book was realistic, it could actually happen and maybe even in the same way. I'm glad that this book wasn't all about the tapes or all about Clay's reaction to Hannah's suicide, but rather a combination of both. I also loved the fact that Hannah wasn't just portrayed and a depressed teenager that just randomly decided to commit suicide, because suicide is never random. There are always reasons that people commit suicide, and this book shows that. Suicide is the third highest cause of death in people ages 15-24. If you know someone who is considering suicide, take it seriously, not as a joke. They could be reaching out to you like Hannah reached out to Clay, don't let them down. Don't be a reason somebody decides to commits suicide, be the reason somebody decides not to.
My Three Words: Realistic, Compelling, and Emotional
My Recommendation: For fans of realistic fiction and It's Kind of a Funny Story.
My Rating: 5/5
