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.

This book failed its mission. While it is supposed to be a cautionary tale about how we treat others, it ends up being the story of someone who was not taught how to cope with life crisis and tragedy. I relate to the character with some of my life circumstances. However, people need to be taught how to handle crisis. Suicide is not an option.

The definition of romanticising mental health issues, sexual assault, and suicide. Absolutely disgusting, so problematic. Made me want to literally vomit.
