![]() ![]() Both Every Last Word and 13 Reasons Why have a main character who suffers from a mental illness (Hannah struggled with depression and Sam OCD) but 13 Reasons Why didn’t do a very good job of respectfully portraying depression. The television show 13 Reasons Why, for example, has been controversial because of the glorification and romanticizing of depression. It’s hard to accurately portray a mental illness respectfully, but Stone does it perfectly. ![]() Having the main character of a book with a mental illness can be challenging. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I would definitely recommend taking your time to read it. Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone is a heartwarming and inspiring story portraying the perspective of a teenage girl secretly struggling with Purely-Obsessional OCD all while trying to fit in with her peers. ![]()
