I honestly really liked this book. I watched the show a couple of years ago so reading the book kinda felt nostalgic to me in a sense. I really like the main character, Clay, and I also really liked Tony. Tony is such a genuinely nice guy and was always nice to Hannah and was there for Clay when he needed him the most. The only thing that I didn’t like about the book was that, it isn’t right or healthy for Hannah to be blaming other teenagers and teaches for her suicide. People in high school will always be cruel but not even suicide will make those bad people realize they were in the wrong. Marcus tried to force himself on Hannah, and after hearing the tapes he still acted like a jack ass and didn’t think twice about Hannah or the tapes. I still really liked the book and found it impressing that we got to see a full picture of many characters, including Alex Standall, Jessica Davis, Justin Folley, Tyler and more, without actually meeting any of them and just hearing about them through the tapes.

This book made me aware of how sharp words and careless actions can crash a soul. Hanna’s death crushed my heart, she wasn’t dramatic, she was just  screaming for help.
