This whole book was meh. I found the characters bland and the plot boring. I expected more from a book so hyped, specially for its characters, than  rich snobby kids running around getting drunk and high while thinking they're the smartest people in the room. I feel like it was way too long. The very little that happens could have happened in 200 pages less. And I was also disappointed the professor wasn't in it more, just because of the blurb. Don't go in thinking he appears much because he doesn't.

I didn't love Cat's narrator. Too chirpy even in parts of the book that didn't need it. I also didn't love the whole ‘brain voice' thing, but that's probably because of all the memes about 50 Shades with that to be honest.

Entiendo porqué han añadido un tercer punto de vista, pero son los capítulos que menos me interesaban y creo que no saber lo que realmente estaba pasando habría estado mejor. Pero entiendo que es un libro para adolescentes. También tengo que decir que había varios fallos de edición (palabras que faltan etc), pero eso es lo de menos.

While I enjoyed the talk about religion and how being queer doesn't go against that and they can co-exist, I felt like everything that happened after a certain point was too extreme. It's probably something that can happen, I guess, but it felt unrealistic and like the author was trying to play up the drama so that the characters who had been ‘mad' would get over it and intervene. 

I do like that both Hannah and Baker are somewhat called out for what they do, even if they were in pain, but I also feel it's not enough. Same happens with Clay. I don't think anyone would be that forgiving after what these characters do to some of their friends.

I think I would have enjoyed this more had I read it years ago. It was still enjoyable but it felt lacking. Though I do think it's an important and interesting conversation to have.

Sally Rooney is definitely not my cup of tea.
