this book was so good. it kept me entertained through the whole thing and wasn’t predictable

I read this book when I was in a really tough patch in my life. My brother committed suicide 2 months ago so that’s still raw. But when a fried recommended it, I thought I would hate it. But I didn’t. So read. I hope it does the same for you as it did for me. #readbannedbooks

It's a shame that I watched the Netflix adaptation before reading the actual book, but the book itself stands up quite nicely on its own. One of the few gripes I had about the book was how the rest of the characters weren't as fleshed out as Clay and Hannah were. I'm supposed to just go along with what Hannah says & what Clay thinks about the people on the tapes. Fortunately, the show does a great job at that. Another problem I had was how fast-paced it felt, with how Clay was listening to all of the tapes in one night. For something as heavy handed as the fate of Hannah, I would've expected Clay to take his time with it. Again, the series fixed this problem. Other than that, it was a marvelous book to read. I hope that the author would follow the series' lead & write sequels to the book. It doesn't exactly have to follow the Netflix version, but a follow-up story would be nice.

I love this book. It covers really hard topics that are difficult to talk about and opens your eyes to the things suicidal people have to go through. I read this at 12 and found it quite spectacular. For those of you who say Hannah killed herself for no reason, I think it can seem that way when you read it from an outsiders point of view. When you imagine yourself experiencing those traumatizing events, the reason of Hannah’s death becomes a lot more clear. Excellent book, though definitely for more mature readers

The book hits you hard in places you thought you never felt and you just can’t stop reading and I love it. It’s emotional, funny and it points out everything that some High Schoolers have to go through and it’s sad but it is a very precious story, just about life, friendship, and trust. Again it's an absolutely AMAZING book and I highly recommend

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17 (2020)

This was such a powerful book. Yes, it was sad, yes, it was sometimes disturbing, but sometimes in life you have to go through discomfort and/or fear to learn your greatest lessons. This book gives you empathy for what suicidal people really go through. It was very well written, I couldn’t put it down until I reached the last page and it really felt like you were going through the book and experiencing it with Clay and with Hannah as well. 10/10 would recommend reading this book, it would be good for everyone to read.

What a great tv show really had a impact on me hope I see more seasons in the future! Can’t wait for season 4.

If you liked the book a lot, and you have Netflix I would highly recommend to watch this on Netflix. This is probably the greatest thing I ever read.
