Thirteen Reasons Why/YMMV

• Complete Monster: Bryce. Fucking. Walker. He rapes Jessica, essentially molests Hannah, who is inches from completely letting go at this point, is a complete womaniser, and shows absolutely no remorse for any of his actions. Hannah even instructs people not to give the tapes to him, so that he can't destroy her evidence. If you don't hope Clay kicks his ass, please seek help.
  • Some people feel this way about Hannah. A lot of readers felt like the tapes Hannah sent out were cruel and spiteful. She potentially ruined those people's lives by implying that they were the reasons she killed herself. While some are understandable, like Bryce Walker, most of the others come off as trivial to adults.
• Family-Unfriendly Aesop: Imagine how these tapes would haunt the individuals for the rest of their lives. The creation of these tapes make Hannah seem worse than those who hurt her.
  • Not to mention, the entire story (minus the last 2 or 3 pages) is a towering monument to Hannah's suicide. The story displays how Hannah's suicide had exactly the effect she wanted, namely revenge on everyone who had hurt her. This omits the fact that Hannah is around to experience exactly none of it, and thus she can derive no satisfaction.
• Tear Jerker: This entire book.
  • The last tape, full stop. Better get some tissues out before reading it.
• The Woobie: Hannah full stop.
  • Clay as well, by the end. Try not to feel bad for him, I dare you.
