The book mostly occurs all in one afternoon, evening, and night as Clay listens to the taped after finding them delivered to his house. He cuts in giving his thoughts on the events as Hannah tells her truths, and for me that added nuance to understanding who Hannah and all the people cast in her reasons are. I love how accurate season 1 of the show is to the book, except it plays out over more than one night. The show stuck with me, and the book will, too, in its own way.

It was not as.. depressing (?) as I was expecting it to be (according to what I'd heard), and although I understand that Hannah going through what she went through, one would take their own life, but me, as a reader, was not able to connect to it fully. It's like.. I wasn't feeling what Hannah would have been feeling or what clay was feeling and his reactions felt.. I just didn't FEEL what he was feeling, if it makes sense? I saw their reactions and they logically made sense, but I didn't feel the same. Obviously I'm not saying that it wasn't tragic for them, but what I'm saying is that I, as a reader, didn't feel the same things clay/Hannah did.
Regardless, this was a book with a really good and important message, and was written very well. It was a very strong and needed reminder of just how much our tiny little actions affect someone and how we should just.. be more considerate and nice and just a good person in general. Good book, would recommend, but don't go in expecting to come out depressed (which we sometimes go into a book wanting to feel so strongly, which this book, imo, won't make you feel anything too strong). Still recommend it, though.
