I was apprehensive about reading this AND very, very curious. As a sufferer of clinical depression and having had suicidal thoughts multiple times I thought this book might trigger something dark inside me.
But this book was nothing like I thought. The story is about Clay. He receives a package in the mail from Hannah who had committed suicide a few weeks before and the package contain cassette tapes for him to listen to.
Reading about the events that lead up to her death and what caused her emotional state was very rewarding and freeing for me. In life there is cause and effect. Someone's action's may cause us undue stress and they have no clue. It was a great reminder for me to remember to watch people reactions and how they react can have nothing to do with me or what I said or did.
The ending was heartbreaking but also I learned something.
This book isn't for everyone but I would recommend it.
