I love this so much.
a bit weird that Harriet gets married in the end though but I suppose it's not too terrible :)
Overall really really good though!! I audibly laughed multiple times ‼️

Edit: it's about 3 days since i finished this and I don't know what happens. This book just fades in comparison to other books I've read and it just doesn't stick..at all? I don't know. I enjoyed while reading, looking back it's just not enough for that many stars (4.75⭐ -> 3.25⭐) :)

Well uhh damn. 
when It was revealed that clay didnt do anything wrong i was a bit relieved ngl. I think i would hace found It difficult to sympathise with his pain if he has a considerable role in Hannah's suicide. On the other handy, though, i was kind of ... Dissapointed? I cant explain It very well. 
Also Hannah's journey from note being abke to say the Word 'suicide' to daying "casually" showing that she, in a way, made peace with the situation? Heart-wrenching.
Also Mr. Porter sucks at helping. That really frustrated me.
