A devastating Twitter prank yanks Hannah out of the popular crowd and turns her into the high school's best bad joke. Determined to finish the year and graduate, Hannah must keep the humiliating details from her impulsive mother-who just might pack up their belongings and move. Again. Hannah hovers below the radar by submersing herself in a new routine. Post-it notes, Dewey Decimal numbers and carefully planned trips to the library are her refuge. That is, until a persistent new student invades her space. Lucas has complete disregard for Hannah's cynicism and snark, and he seems to know the bullies who targeted her. Can Hannah trust him, or is he part of another ploy to torment her?

More like a 3.5.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this story. Hannah has suffered through a very believable mistake where something is posted to Twitter that makes an enormous impact on her life. This is the sort of thing that could, and probably does, happen to teens all the time. It's kind of scary to think about. As a result of this, she's been bullied, both in a cyber aspect and in person as well. In order to cope, she's completely isolated herself. She doesn't even have parents to turn to, as she has only a mother, and one who isn't the best role model out there, and one who thinks moving from place to place and running from problems is the best method for dealing with things. So Hannah gets this honestly. It didin't escape my irony scope that Hannah's method for dealing with her circumstances is to withdraw, which is also a form of running isn't it.

I thought Hannah was a very well-crafted character. She is one I felt very badly and strongly for. She has isolated herself entirely at school by avoiding people, classes, and other things, eating her lunch in the library, and being generally unapproachable. Until a new guy comes along. One that I loved because he was sweet and patient, and slowly but surely tore down Hannah's walls.

The romance was a very nice, slow progression which was gratifying and satisfying at the same time. The story was poignantly and beautifully written, and had some wonderful themes and messages in it. I have to applaud the author for taking on some of these themes and handling them so well. A very good read.
Oh. My. Goodness. I honestly do not know if I can adequately express in words my mad love for this book. Seriously. My vocabulary is quite extensive, but I really don’t think it’s going to be enough to explain to you just how amazing this book is and how stunned I was reading it. I felt like I was emotionally touched – like Ms. Greenway reached in my chest and squeezed my heart, like she set free little butterflies in my stomach, like she was in my head as I read and knew precisely what I wanted to see happen and she somehow made it so. No, really!!! Okay, let me start from the beginning…

I saw this book pop up as a tour option in an email from MaryAnn at Chapter by Chapter (to whom I give loads of credit for pushing me outside my comfort zone on both reading and reviewing! So, thank you!), and even though I am not one who usually reaches for contemporary reads, something about Hannah caught my eye. Okay, if I’m being honest, it was the mention of Dewey Decimal numbers and the library as a refuge for Hannah. (Yes, I should have followed my heart and gone to library school at the same time I got my law degree! I would’ve been happier!) When I saw that Hannah has a compulsion to bring order to her otherwise disordered, messy, lonesome life, which she satisfies each night by picking a new Dewey Decimal number to look up in the library at lunch the next day, I was instantly intrigued. I cannot tell you how happy I am that I asked to join the tour; I hate to think I could’ve missed out on this incredible book and possibly never even known! Further, I was surprised one day when I opened my mail and found a print copy of Hannah, sent from Rebelight Publishing for purposes of this review. Wow! I am not a big-time blogger by any means, so I assumed I’d be reviewing an e-book (which I’m totally fine with). But they took the time and spent the money to send me a physical book, which most definitely endeared me to them, I’m not gonna lie ) I am always happy to hold a book in my hands! I’d like to publicly say “thank you!” to Rebelight Publishing for this extra touch. I feel blessed to have had this reading experience, and I hope I can do justice to this amazing book.**

So, on to the book itself! Hannah has lived an unusual life by the time we meet her, with a mother, Leanne, who has made a career out of being a cocktail waitress working very late hours and, often, bringing home random guys from her job in the wee hours of morning. Hannah may go days without seeing her mom face-to-face; often they don’t get to speak in person until the weekends when Hannah doesn’t have to be at school. You can imagine the strain this would put on a mother-daughter relationship. On top of that, Hannah is 17, and her mother is 34, having been only 17 herself when Hannah was born. Hannah’s father left them when she was only 5, and since then it’s just been Hannah and her mom. To make things even more difficult, they have moved around very frequently, at the drop of a hat (twice because Leanne discovered the man she’d been fooling around with was married, so she confronted the man’s wife and outed the cheater!), and Hannah has only been at her current high school since the start of her senior year, about 5 months ago. This all combines to make for a very unusual and stressful life for a 17-year-old, don’t you think? Well, it gets even worse.

Soon after she arrived at this new high school for her senior year, Hannah was taken under the wing of the most popular girl in school, Allison, and her lackey, Marla. Hannah joins these two on the cheer squad, and throughout the fall she holds a position at the top of the high school social hierarchy. However, by the time we meet her in March, something has clearly happened to send Hannah to the depths of despair, shunned by pretty much everyone at school. You know how it is, even those who are mocked by the top dogs will mock any top dog who’s thrown out by the others, right? So Hannah has been bullied and tormented by Allison and Marla and the in-crowd, and also shunned and whispered about by those in the middle of the pack. I’ll let you discover just what happened that resulted in this reversal of fortune, but I feel pretty confident you’ll be as disgusted by it as I was. Sadly, I think it is something that is all too common in high schools (maybe even middle schools) these days, and the whole idea of the bullying that takes place makes me cringe when I think about my own son growing up and having to face the horror that is middle school and high school (ugh, not such fond memories there!!).

So Hannah is basically persona non grata at her high school, and no one wants to talk to her except her teachers and the administrative staff (and I was really pleased with how the adults in Hannah’s school life did not give up on her or assume that the stories about her were true). Then, one day as she sits in the library with her Dewey Decimal pick of the day, Lucas struts into her space. Oh, Lucas. Lucas, Lucas, LUCAS. I just….okay, if I weren’t old enough to be his mother, and if I weren’t married, and if, ya know, he was actually REAL… well, if all those things were true, it’d be safe to say I fell head over heels for Lucas. Words cannot describe just how awesomely incredible and nerdily sexy Lucas is!!! Phew! However, Hannah is so used to fiercely guarding her heart, her feelings, her space, that she tries to shut Lucas down from the moment he comes near her. Lucas is nothing if not persistent, but my goodness Hannah definitely gives him a run for his money. In fact, she’s been so betrayed that she’s unsure if anything Lucas says is even true. She wonders if he’s been put up to being nice to her by Allison and her crowd, just so he can spectacularly and publicly drop her once she opens herself up. Wouldn’t it be terrible to reach such a point? I felt so awful for what Hannah went through and everything she had to deal with, and all I could think about is what I would do as a parent – of the bullied, of the bully, or of the bystanders.

I won’t spoil anything, as I want you to be able to experience whether or not Hannah learns to trust Lucas and whether Lucas earns that trust or if he is in fact out to torment her. It takes a while for Hannah to decide, and being on that journey of discovery with her is part of what’s so special about this book. The characters are also wonderful, and to top it off there’s a bombshell that’s dropped that I didn’t see coming from a mile away! It all combines just beautifully into one incredible read, one of the best contemporaries I’ve read this year, to be sure. I absolutely loved Hannah Both Ways, and I truly hope you will, too! I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly give this 5 stars!

**I received a copy of this book for purposes of an HONEST review. This in no way affects my rating or review, which is based solely on the experience I had reading the book itself.
Hannah Both Ways is a story of one high school student who is a victim of cyber-bullying and how she deals with the aftermath of social media bashing and untrue nasty rumors.

I really admired Hannah because even though her world was crumbling, she stayed strong and resilient. The most admirable aspect of Hannah is she never gave up – she realized that this was a temporary problem in her life and did not even contemplate a more permanent solution. I also loved her snarky words, her wittiness, and most of all her social awkwardness. Hannah is a character that I truly liked and rooted for until the very end. Her ritual with the Dewey Decimal System was ingenious and I thought it was a great way for her to have a goal for each day.

Lucas was indeed a God-send that came at the perfect time in Hannah’s life and I was so happy that he had the patience of a saint when it came to dealing with Hannah’s cynical and untrusting ways. These two made the perfect duo and rounded out the story perfectly.

Reading this book took me back to my high school days and reminded me that kids can be cruel and heartless – it seems some things never change. Add the social media outlets and I am beyond thankful that these outlets weren't around in my day. Some kids have no idea how their hateful actions affect others or if they are aware, they flat out just don’t care. This story depicted verbal/written bullying perfectly and I applaud the author for creating an outstanding story that deals with a very difficult subject.

I would absolutely recommend Hannah Both Ways not only to young adults but older ones as well. It’s a great way of bringing cyber-bullying to light and showing a positive outcome to a dismal situation.
