I haven't finished a book in one sitting for awhile now!! So happy I finally got the chance to read this; the moment I found out it was going to be a show I immediately placed it on top my reading list. And every single page was worth it. 
 Solid 5 star rating, I don't think I can express the intensity of each character in this book, most especially with Hannah. I loved the pacing of the story as well and I felt like the author did a really good job when it came to his writing style. Suicide-based books are always something I'm personally interested in, not that I'm encouraging it, but the mere fact of getting to read about the "what if's" and the "why's" of the characters' story, always leaves me open for more questions. I couldn't help but compare this to Jennifer Niven's All The Bright Places, I know that they're 2 different stories but while I was reading 13 Reasons Why, I kind of did a compare and contrast with Finch and Hannah. The thing about suicide, which basically gets me all the time, would be the thought of fearing death. Like does this ever occur in their head? With Finch, it obviously didn't. But with Hannah, her story was unique. 
 When I read about Hannah and her life; how those people were somehow "part" of the reason why she killed herself; I thought to myself, she's something else. While Clay was going through her tapes one by one, I actually considered her as someone who was strong and smart. She was one of those people that you never expected to commit suicide, which basically goes to show that it doesn't matter who you are, suicide will always be on the thought of any kinds of people. It pained me to read about how selfish and cruel Hannah's world was, how guys and girls would stoop so low to hurt someone and not give a damn. The only person that truly could've helped her was Clay, and even he was too late. 
 Basically, the story was good. I'm out of words to describe how amazing it was. Just go read it. But what I want to focus on would be deeper than just the story itself. In a way, Hannah and Clay's relationship represented the big "what if". What if, Clay never left her crying. What if, they became a couple. What if, he tried harder. What if... what if... it never stops. I genuinely felt bad for Clay because he was at the point where it was too late for him to fix things. Absolutely too late. And that's what made me super emotional because I didn't like how he was given these tapes but then at the end of the day, you had no control as to what you wanted to happen. Hannah was still dead. Sure it gave him life lessons of having the courage to speak up because you can never know until when that person is in your life; but what he and Hannah had, it was unfair for him. He was there for Hannah but it was her who decided to push him away. And I don't blame Clay for following what she wanted. There is only so much that you can do to a person. I know I don't have the right to be angry at Hannah but this was also her decision. Her mind was made up. It happened. Yes, I feel bad for her and what she went through, but she let her own depressed thoughts take over. 
 I would personally just like to thank Jay Asher for this book because it made me realize that shutting out people? It's never the solution to your problems. Because what I have noticed is that these things, they always start when you try to be okay when you're alone. People fail to think that being alone and being independent are 2 different things. And in Hannah's case, she knew, she freaking knew that Clay was her only hope to a good side of life and yet she chose to let him go too. 
 Guys. 
 Never let your assumptions over power your chance at happiness and contentment. 
 Risk is something you're going to have to take in life. 
 There are people who care so don't blind yourself into thinking you don't matter to anyone. 
 And most of all, never doubt for one second that you don't deserve all the positivity in your life. Because you do. You really do.
