Thirteen Reasons Why

Thrill, love, sadness, devastating.

I, of course, never knew about the book before Netflix created it. And even though it was out, I waited until all four seasons were complete before I ventured to read the book. I loved both the original ending and the ending that the editor and Jay came up with. I think Hannah’s death creates more of an impact for the readers and the viewers because as a whole, death is final. “When you mess with one part of a person's life, you're messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything.” —Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why

I read this book after I watched the Netflix Live-Action adaption. I had a chance to read it in high school, but I passed on it at the time and now regret doing so. Reading this book had a completely different effect on me than watching the show, and probably would’ve hit me differently as a young adult. Just to clarify, the show drew inspiration from the book and was not entirely accurate. The book did it way better in my opinion. I can not clarify how I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading this book, I simply could not put it down. The words were flying off the page and racing through my mind even long after I was done reading. The words that hit hard and true are words I’ll never forget. I’ve never had any experience with suicide or anything like that, but depression is something that I know all too well. This book delivered on so many different issues and topics that, in today’s day and age, are more at play now than ever in teenagers. I related to it and felt connected to it. It hits hard, so brace yourselves. Here’s one of my favorite quotes: “Maybe you didn’t know what people thought of you because they themselves didn’t know what they thought of you. Maybe you didn’t give us enough to go on, Hannah. If not for that party, I never would have met the real you. But for some reason, and I am extremely grateful, you gave me that chance. However brief it was, you gave me a chance. And I liked the Hannah I met that night. Maybe I could’ve even loved her. But you decided not to let that happen, Hannah. It was you who decided.” Absolutely amazing story. One of the best books I ever read! This iBook is a solid copy, works great on my iPad Mini (2019)!

i so recommend this book:)

Amazing book great plot.

I really liked this book even though it was heartbreaking. I wish the whole thing would have been a dream. But alas, not all great books have happy endings.

I do not like many books, mostly because I never really understand why they wrote the book in the first place. But this book has kept me on my seat. It made me stay up late just to finish it all because i just fell in love with the way the book is written and because it had me wanting more. Many books end up with a happy ending. ‘The guy gets the girl, the girl gets the guy, the get married, they lived happily ever after’. This book has its own ending and it fits the story line perfectly. I just hope you give this book a chance, its worth it.

This book was pretty much interesting, it really did capture my attention. I somewhat didn't feel that it was deep enough, especially for a suicidal topic. And lastly, I really didn't like the ending, it was vague in my opinion. I was also hoping to read about the details of her suicide.

This book spoke to me in a very special way... I haven't read a good book like this is in a very long time
