This was surprisingly good. It wasn't too depressing, but it was definitely tragic. I think the main message is that your actions toward other people could be piling on a lot of shitty actions from other people. For some of the things in this book, individually, they weren't tooooo terrible. However, all of those things stacked on top of each other will break someone.

At one point, Hannah says: "When you mess with one part of a person's life, you're not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can't be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person's life, you're messing with their entire life. Everything...affects everything."

This is a huge takeaway from this book, and something everyone needs to hear. Yes, some parts of this book were dramatic, but overall, the heart of it was realistically tragic.
