Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

4.0

I read the book after watching the series as I was interested as to how the two differed.

The book was good, the dual narration gave an interesting perspective from both sides of the story.

It was a fairly quick read, but the book makes the audience consider the impact of actions and words on others.

There were some parts which may be triggering or some may find insensitive, but I believe the book was good in approaching sensitive topics some shy away from to try and make people evaluate how they treat others and how their actions may affect someone else's life.

Sections of the book could have been altered to possibly further reflect the true struggles people who contemplate suicide go through, but, as someone who has never gone through an experience similar to that in the book, it gives an understanding to the struggles people face.
