I'm a super critical and crazily picky reader, but this book broke through all of those walls. I loved it. Absolutely loved it. It's the kind of book I want to force all teenagers to read, especially in today's world where bullying is so prevalent. It's an eye-opener, to say the very least. Even though we're in Clay's POV, I loved being able to get to know Hannah and see the affects slowly build to push her beyond her breaking point. I don't think people realize the impact their actions/words have, and this book shows very clearly how one thing can turn into so many others. 
 Jay Asher did a beautiful job of not glamorizing the issue at hand but handling a sensitive topic in a very realistic way. To say this book is emotional is an understatement. It's a whirlwind of emotions that I can't even properly put into words. It's a life changer, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. I can't fathom how anyone can hate this book, and when I see negative reviews, I just want to scream, "YOU'RE WRONG." (But I don't, obviously) Just know... they're wrong. Read this one.
