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.

honestly this book is pretty good, always thought it was bad because everyone wqs shitting on the show, didnt care much for the dialogue because it was mainly uninteresting, but the cassettes, so basically when hannah was talking was veryyy good and i couldnt stop reading when it came to the cassette parts

I really like the way Clay and Hannah’s words were interwoven, rather than separate chapters. I read it in a few hours and whilst I think each chapter had just the right amount of information/length, I would’ve have liked some of the characters to be delved in to a bit more. It was a very dark topic but written in a lovely way that didn’t put you in too dark of a hole of emotions. I think it could’ve been written a bit more poetically but I guess that’s part of hearing from the voice of two teenagers. A really uniquely interesting way to write about a taboo and dark topic that hasn’t been done that way before, in a reflective and yet anticipatory way.
