I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed 13 Reason Why. A lot of what it deals with is similar. There's a tragic act that seriously affects people who knew that person. There are people left devastated by those actions, and the main character really struggles, and you can relate to her story, and (at least I could), feel what she's feeling. So if you liked 13 Reasons, because you liked reading about a messed up situation, and how that affects people (I guess liked is the wrong word, cuz it is really messed up). If you enjoyed reading a really tough, but touching book, then yes, you'd probably like this.

As someone who loved 13 Reasons Why, I can't recommend this book. While it does deal with a tragic situation and going back and forth to figure out what happened, I can't connect to any of the characters. In 13 Reasons Why, I connected with Clay and Hannah from the start and wanted to figure out why Hannah did what she did. In Hate List, I can't and the going back and forth feels extremely forced. I don't want any connection to Valerie and she's coming across as extremely shallow. So, I would give Hate List a hard pass.
