So, she wants to tell them to keep listening to the tapes because they took her for granted once , and that did not end well.
"Betrayal. It's one of the worst feelings" (pg 13)
The theme was rumors and lies. Hannah was betrayed by the guy she had her first crush on. He liked her back but he still made up that rumor about her and he lied about her. She feels betrayed because Jessica didn't believe her.
"But I did... Then why didn't you try harder?"(pg 148)
The protagonist, Clay, feels regret about Hannah's death. If he told her he cared or if he tried harder to talk to her, maybe she would still be there. Over and over he keeps thinking he should have done something to make her feel loved and wanted.
A surprising book about heart break and how people can hurt others in a unimaginable way.
