I haven't read the book, yet, but have seen the show. It was well written & acted. I'm glad they touched on subjects that many deal with on a daily basis, though still aren't addressed enough. It also showed how our words & actions can affect others & the importance of doing our best to treat everyone with kindness & acceptance. Small gestures do make a difference.
Yes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm glad I'm not the only Steemian who watched Thirteen Reasons Why :)
