My Rating-☆☆☆☆☆
Genre-YA
Plot -Clay has a crush on Hannah Baker . Later Hannah commits Sucide and Clay is one of the 13 reasons.
My thoughts-I still can’t comprehend the true meaning of the book because in short ,the book is nothing less than a harsh reality(which cannot be ignored.)
I was not supposed to read this book but still I did because my curiosity took better of me.
I was entranced by a story never read before.
As a high schooler,I know what people are capable of doing and saying ,so this books come out as a ugly truth .But this is life .Isn’t it ? Jay Asher ‘s storytelling is such that one can only turn the pages and want more of the story.The character of Hannah is so much developed that I cannot help feeling her pain,humiliation and sadness.All she wanted was love and acceptance ,which no one could actually give her.Clay is another character which I felt for..but Clay is just a another person in Hannah’s life who could have been something more but fate didn’t allow.The pacing of the story is pretty good and story too is unique.The story compels you to think about the complexities of life ……
This is a good book to read. Especially for teens and highschoolers. I hope people do realize how their words, gossips or little actions scar other’s lives.
I don’t think I will be able to read the book again for a long period of time neither the Netflix series.

I’ve always been sort of intrigued by this book but I’ve avoided it because I usually don’t really enjoy reading really sad things. I’m glad you enjoyed it, though!

Oh wow. You know what? I want to read something that will really make me emotional because I’ve never cried over a book before and I want too…is that weird?
I’m currently reading Piglettes by Clementine Beauvais which is not really an emotional read hahaha..I actually find it childish and kind of lighthearted

I’ve read Me Before You but it just lightly tapped into my tears but I’d reread it to see if it makes me more emotional. Is it bad that I haven’t read TFIOS while everyone else seemed to have finished it already?

I thought it was a fabulous choice if you wanted a good cry and the pacing was so sharp and captivating, but I wish that we could’ve seen Clay as a more developed character. What are your thoughts?

I think same as you
..
Clay was underdeveloped character and it was rather a tool not a character to tell the story 📚
I don’t think i can read the book again 😭

I read this book years ago with my cousin. I have to say I was very young and it impacted me as well as my cousin. I read it very quickly and I could not stop turning that pages. To this day I remember a lot of this book. It drove home a point to young mind that you never know what other people are thinking or how they will react. I know a lot of people don’t like how it deals with the topic, but regardless of what you think of that aspect the book achieved what I think it was meant to. It start a conversation.

Amazing review, Priyasha! 🙂 I don’t plan to read this one but I do realize it’s a big reality check. It deals with very serious themes and I hope it helps people judge their actions and words a bit more. I might try the TV show, but I’m not too keen on it.

You are right,the book is sort of a reality check .
I think you ought not to read the book because it’s quite disturbing and the protagonist’s action (suicide)is really not justified.

I haven’t read the book yet, I’ve just seen the series. It was gut-wrenching for me. As a person who experienced depression and bullying, it awakened old feelings, but also made me so happy that someone could make people realize how their gossips and hateful words could affect someone’s life. I’ve been postponing reading the book, because I imagine it’s way stronger than the series.

I don’t really know whether reading the book will have a greater impact on you, because I feel that audio-visual medium is as powerful as reading a book , sometimes more powerful. 😀
