While this book can be entertaining for a YA novel, it is not a good representation of mental health. Suicide is not a form of revenge and should not be represented as such. Hannah is a child, yes, but putting her suicide on other children’s shoulders and manipulating their emotions is not depression, it’s cruelty.

Also, her exposing a girl’s sexual assault and hyping up the blame-game on an innocent boy just to go “Oh, yeah, you don’t belong on my suicide tapes but I still sort of blame you for not saving me even though I turned you away and did not express my feelings” is fucked up.

Would I reread this again? I don’t know. Most likely not, but Thirteen Reasons Why did have quite the chokehold in middle school and high school. Maybe I will revisit it in 5 years. The book does create good discussion. I’ll give it that.

This book was heavy. Definitely enlightened the idea of depression and mental health but at the same time it felt like a revenge suicide, so I don’t know how to process the message.

this is way worse than the series.

it all happens in one night comparing to the series, but its less dark, in the way that it doesn’t mention some of the darker assaults and the suicide itself is less graphic.

I did not like this and i will stick to the first season of the series.
