Thirteen Reasons Why is easily, and unfortunately my least-favorite book of the year so far.
I spend the majority of the novel being just very annoyed at the girl protagonist. I felt like the whole novel was very immature, which it should not have been since it deals with a very serious and important subject matter. Our girl protagonist comes off as very whiny and over-dramatic. I felt annoyed instead of sympathic.
The characters were most definitely the weakest part of this book when they should have been the strongest part.
I understand that her problems are meant to be a "build up" but honestly? A boy said you had a nice butt? A girl got mad at you for liking another boy? There were literally chapters focusing on the aforementioned topics. It was all very teeny-boppy.
Perhaps if I read this when I was younger I would enjoy it more. Or maybe I should not have been expecting a deep, serious book. I was extremely let down and annoyed at this read. Ugh.
