I apologize, but this book was just plain bad. The plot lacked any hint of originality, and the writing style was abominable. The characters lacked solidarity and the entire book seemed quite stupid. However, I dont want to be a downer, so I will add that the book does have a nice cover. Unfortunately the copy I read had a much uglier cover. Sometimes, life is just plain cruel.

This book was amazing. I read it three times, and loved it more with every read. It tells Hannah's story amazingly and innovatively, but it is absolutely heartbreaking to watch her downward spiral and all the people who did nothing to help and everything to push her further towards suicide. I would reccomend this book to every young adult reader.,
