rgreyreads's review against another edition
Having only two POVs was boring to me. Also, obviously Hannah is a very unreliable narrator who uses these tapes to justify her own death. I don't agree with that or the way this story glorifies and justifies suicide. As a survivor of an attempt myself I can't understand why anyone would write this book; mishandling this topic and aim it toward such a young demographic. The show was a lot worse though.
Graphic: Emotional abuse
Moderate: Violence, Sexism, Sexual violence, and Sexual assault
Minor: Homophobia and Cursing
