Most of the time, I'm okay with reading books about suicide. I really am. 
 I have clinical depression and generalized anxiety and has had a hard time dealing with events in my life that had me fairly suicidal for a few years of my life. Obviously, I didn't do it, and I'm happy that this book wasn't around when I was. 
 There's a few good things and a lot of bad things about this book. The main good thing is Gayle Forman's writing. I love her writing style but it wasn't enough to make the stuff that happened in the book okay for me. 
 It's the disgusting 'romance' and the overly detailed suicide that made me put the book down and never touch it again. If I owned a physical copy I would have sold it. There was too much pro-suicide in a book that's supposed to bring awareness to suicide. If someone that is currently suicidal was reading this book she basically gave them all of the steps to do it and that's what bothers me the most. I know it wasn't the author's intention but that's just how I see it. 
 I've read so many books about this same topic and they all did it better than Gayle Forman did. She's an amazing author and I really wanted to like this book but I couldn't even finish it. And I'm not ashamed of that either. 
 2 stars because it's Gayle Forman, otherwise, it would've been 1 star.
