5.0

an excellent teen novel, where such a complicated and dark topic is examined through the eyes of an adolescent. this topic is treated with such respect, and the fact that this book exists at all is a testament to respecting the fact that teens do experience suicide and the complicated emotions that come with being a "bystander", not just to suicide, but to other extremely dark and tense topics. asher gives teens a safe space within the novel to explore these topics.

I know everybody thinks this glamourizes suicide, but i really didn't get that vibe. It pointed out the fact that people choosing suicide, especially teens, are in pain and have been in pain for a long time. They don't know where to turn because everywhere they look, they're an inconvenience, a joke, a trophy, so they turn it all inside. The characters that were sent the tapes in this book probably weren't really affected more than a few days, and after that, didn't change what kind of person they wanted to be. And The hole that Hannah left really only mattered to a few, and i think she knew that. People choosing suicide don' think they're getting revenge on others, they're thinking they cannot see any other solution. Only looking inward. Which i see as the whole point. Everyone says, "ask for help, I'm here for you" but for Hannah and for those that choose suicide, it's only a surface statement. This story hit hard for me, for a variety of reasons. Worth a read, but difficult to cope with if you get it. Don't watch the show, it was a poor Hollywood adaptation.
