Firstly, I haven't seen the television adaptation but I had heard about it, which is what urged me to read this novel.
I enjoyed it, though it was quite tragic at times and I've reviewed it on Goodreads and Amazon, these are my thoughts on the book -
It took me a few chapters to get into this book, but I liked the way it was written, from two different viewpoints and persevered and I'm glad I did.
Sad at times, it tells of the tragic suicide of a young girl who, despite showing signs of mental struggles, just doesn't seem to get the help she needs.
Her tapes are a way to tell those that even an action that can seem inconsequential at the time, can literally be the straw that breaks the camels back.
That said I never really warmed to Hannah, even though I felt so sorry for her, but Clay was a lovely boy and made the book hopeful rather than just bleak.
Well worth a read.
