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.

Thirteen Reasons Why was such a great read! I can't tell you how many times I cried because of this book. Jay Asher, in my perspective, did such a great job of putting Clay and Hannah's stories into one. Not only was the stop, play, and pause buttons very creative, but how he used them or more specifically: where. For instance, when Clay would need to stop because of his parents (which is totally relatable) or whenever he needed to recollect his thoughts. 

I think that making Hannah a love interest for Clay was a spectacular idea. At first I thought it was a little cliché, but I started to notice that his love for Hannah is what kept us going. That, and the mystery behind Clay's tape (which I'm not going to get too far into due to spoilers). 

Lastly, the reason (no pun intended) I think Thirteen Reasons Why was such an amazing read was because of the real life situations. It named almost every possible thing I could think of, whether it was blatantly said or hidden in the characters. Depression, suicide, rape, alcoholism, narcissism, sex addiction, LGBTQ+, etc. 

Just the way that Asher put horrible, tormenting things into fiction made the problems beautiful. Not beauty in a way where the actual problem is beautiful, but in a way where it teaches us of the dangers. This book warns us about what other people are going through. It basically teaches us that everyone goes through something and could be hard to detect it. Also, that everything leads up to something.
