Though the novel is more realistic than the tv, I do believe the tv show does a better job of portraying the emotions felt by each character. Rereading this novel at an older age has made me realize the faults in Clay. His lack of spirit does make him one of the reasons Hannah died.
The dialogue was sloppy in parts and I felt like emotions and characters could've been expanded more.
Emotional read with some good lines, but besides the main abuse storyline everything is kind of childish and fits too perfectly together.
Good read and nice lines/paragraphs, pretty much just describing trinity life though. Some dramatic character changes that are then just resolved a few chapters later though
Cool concept that works for the most part. Some parts are randomly dramatic for no reason but I liked reading it anyways.

In a world surrounded by viscosity and pandemonium, Albertalli crafts a novel exploring a summer that tosses Molly Peskin-Suso perpendicularly. The frantic mentions of Facebook and Pinterest are admirable attempts at encompassing the diluted lives that teenagers consciously delve through these days. Much is to be said about juvenile Molly's family, love life and fat because she is a fatty. Encircled, this makes for a novel.
Was cool to read the real life experiences of a country that is often featured in the news and movies. No great descriptions but focus is on the real life people and world around them.
Fairly predictable, not very exciting. Some good characters but no great descriptions or anything
Interesting that I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen. Couldn't understand what Joseph was supposed to be saying with the accent thing.
Didn't like the first half. Second half was very good until the end, I felt everything wrapped up too neatly in a way that didnt make sense.
