Liz | 5 comments I read this book a few months ago, and fell in love with it! I really hope people who read this love it as much as I do, I'm reading his other book that he co-wrote, with Carolyn Mackler. It's called The Future of Us, hopefully I like it as much as Thirteen Reasons.


Jessa | 4 comments I really likes this book too! It was so different than other books I've read and really opened my eyes. I suggested it to a few friends aswell and they all loved it too, it makes you realize how things that seem so insignificant to one person might really hurt or damage someone else! Loved it!

I read it almost immediately after I read Thirteen Reasons. Its not as good but it dealt with teenage stuff that people would be able to relate about too. ^^, I liked it. I recommend you read it soon.

Yeah some people think you're okay but really underneath that smile you are hiding all that pain. Some people are stronger than others. For the weaker ones, that is what they do to make all the pain go away. It was a sad story but it was definitely an eye opener.

I read this book about 2 years ago I think. It was amazing and I have lent it out to a couple of my friends and my cousins. I could absolutely relate to it, and it was I guess what you could call the starting point of my recovery. When I suggested it to my friends, they became suspicious that I might not be as happy as I always seemed. This book also introduced me to many other books about teens who struggle with issues similar to mine. It will always be special to me.

I kind of had the same struggle when I was in highschool which is also why i loved this book. But unlike Hannah, I dealt with my issues. It was just a little sad that it ended the way it did.

I dealt with them in negative ways, and I'm still trying to work them out, but I'm glad you dealt with them!

I just finished it & I LOVED it!


Sarah (wsbecker) I started reading this book and had a hard time putting it down. I probably would have read straight through if it weren't for my 2 year old :). I thought it was definitely an eye opener! I like how Hannah was not the "typical" suicide victim. She was fairly popular and had friends, not a real loner. It just goes to show you don't know what kind of front people are putting on. Sad and emotional. I beg anybody who can relate to Hannah to tell somebody, ask for help, do something before it is too late.

I agree 100% with what you had to say, it really made me see that people that wouldn't seem to have problems, actually have them.


Sandee is Reading (sandeeisreading) Some people are just really good at keeping things to themselves and then out of the blue they just snap.
