Jess's Reviews > Thirteen Reasons Why

First of all thanks to everyone who recommended this book to me. It´s been on my SuB for over a year and I finally! came around to read it. So thanks for that because I thought it was a really great book.

It´s not necessarily a book that you fall in love with or a book that really touches you but it´s definitely a book that keeps you up at night and makes you thinking.

Thinking about how your everyday actions influence others. How even small things in your mind can turn into real big things for others. Thinking about the value of life and whether or not it´s the best solution to just give up on things if you feel like you´re at the end.

Even though I can´t say I understand Hannah´s decision or her reasons why I have to take it as it is. Her live went downhill pretty fast and pretty heavy. She was going through a lot of stuff and stuff I don´t think I would´ve liked to be involved with. But take it as a reason to end my life?
I don´t think so.
But this book is not about me and for someone who is already at the bottom it´s so much easier to just go all the way down then back up.

There was so much truth in this book that it gave me goosebumbs. Like stealing her little notes from the bag seemed like no big deal but to her they changed everything. Or Like how nobody noticed Hannahs changes and how even the teachers turned a blind eye and didn´t see the signs on her while teaching about suicide in the same moment. It´s everyday life. It happens all the time in our modern world because we all grow apart and most people don´t care about someone else but themselves and those close to them.
It makes you thinking.
And I feel like this book is an important lesson to everyone.

You don´t have to be in everyones business all the time and try to see signs for things that are not there. But you shouldn´t turn around when someone clearly is in trouble. You should think about your actions and how they could influence others and you should listen...
