Great book I am left with a big, raw hole in my chest after finishing it

I'm going to be 100% honest and not humble, this book is infinitely better than the show. It's a textbook example of the source material being deviated from to create a hot mess in the show, but this review isn't about the show. It's about…

The mysterious, eerie novel Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher is also shocking and moving. It centers on Hannah Baker, a bright, likable, and at first seem unremarkable schoolgirl who recently committed suicide. She just gave up on all the…

this book is so powerful and deals with topics that are generally not discussed. Honestly, it should be in school curriculums, because it shows you how actions can snowball, causing things that no one should have to go through. It also…

I first read this book in high school, where it left a lasting impression. I pick it up once a year to reread, and every time, I go on this emotional roller coaster. Likeable and unlikeable characters, emotionally draining content, and the…

I first read this novel almost 7 years ago, I think. Maybe 8. Either way, it's been a decent amount of time since I last read this book and to be honest, I've been really nervous to revisit it. I know that there is a lot of controversy…
