Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
4.0
This book shook me more than I thought it would. All of the different aspects included in this that led to the main character's suicide are so relatable, yet you never realise the extent to which these can make someone feel so negative about themselves and that they are not worth living.
The way this story was told was very clever, in that each tape had it's own section of the story and how more and more people became involved in this traumatic event.
The way that one person's actions, which they believe were so minor, can have a huge impact on how someone feels and acts.
I do believe that the author really did captivate the extent to why each individual event was so traumatic for the main character. Some of the stories were hard to read as I find it difficult to read about abuse and things related to that, however these stories do need to be told to make people aware that their actions can cause devastating effects.
I never watched the Netflix series of this, but from what I was told, I feel like they overdramatised this story too much, making some of the scenes too hard to watch just for entertainment purposes.
The book is definitely the way to go for this story!
