Reviews
“3 Reasons Why, which follows the fallout after a student's suicide
and then unravels the web that led her there, is an ambitious and uniquely
sympathetic deep dive into the challenges of being in high school.”
“In its examination of the ways we hurt each other, deliberately or
casually, knowingly or otherwise, the adult edges to this story ring with
honesty and truth. Because sometimes, the only way to feel something is for it
to hurt.”
“A frank, authentically affecting portrait of what it feels like to be
young, lost, and too fragile for the world.”
