I first read this book when it came out over a decade ago. This book was the first piece of literature I ever admitted deeply to being displeased with. A hate that grew that as you can imagine it seemed unworthy to even exist.
Now some years later. I find myself sitting on my bed watching this series I promised myself I wouldn’t because it couldn’t be any better than that book I despised so badly. Why did I hate this book you might ask yourself? How could I possibly hate a book? Let’s be honest there is always one book that rubs you the wrong way, a character you wish would just get killed off. 13 Reasons Why, the book was annoying. In the detailed description of the main character’s trials, she whined without trepidation. She blamed without remarks of respect. If you have not read the book, there is no way I can really describe to you how differently the book and the series are. But both are identical in relation. Let me tell you when I am honestly glad the producers took the book and looked it over and threw it out the window and said, “Now this is what we are going to do!”
The series portrayed the plot in a new light of awakening the passion. I am so glad for the actress who played Hannah, she was beyond perfect for the role. Delivering the message I wholeheartedly believe Jay Asher wanted to get across. The series is something else. It makes you cringe, cry, and most important, connect.
It was a wonderful replacement for the ideas and feelings I had for the book. Many others were greeted with the same response to the book as I was.
This series gave us a 2nd chance to feel more connected to Hannah, to see her and witness the realm of teenage struggle. What a beautiful story that welcomed us closure and peace.
