The book was really great and there were many moments where I just started tearing up(no thanks to my sensitive heart). It was hard putting the book down because of my curiosity to see how it was all going to end and how Clay affected her decision to kill herself. Especially because of how nice he seemed to me and how he honestly felt so stricken whenever he finished a tape. So now you must be thinking, how come I rated it 3 stars then? Because - spoiler alert! - THAT ENDING WAS SO DISAPPOINTING. 
 I am sorry but it was probably the worst ending I have ever read. Yes, I get that there is some sort of significance to the where he called out Skye's name. It left us guessing at what happened next. I am sure that the majority of us guessed that he helped her go through what ever she was dealing with. I mean it was mentioned that she actually tried to be an outcast right? She was going through issues and we all ended up guessing that he helped her through it and it also showed us that he went through some character development and finally grew some balls. But still. It definitely was not the best ending, in fact I really thought it was awful. 
 I really wanted to see through Clay's perspective how the next day would fold and what he now noticed about the people that he never noticed before. Like how Alex and Justin and all the other people were doing. Were they skipping school? Who pushed Alex that day? Have any of them changed drastically after hearing the tapes? Does Jessica do anything about what Bryce did to her? SO MANY QUESTIONS LEFT UNANSWERED. I was really looking forward to having those questions answered and when they weren't.. well you can say that I was not thrilled. So that's why I gave it 3/5 stars. I would have just as easily given 4 stars but that ending ruined it for me.
