I absolutely loved this short story.
I got too emotional reading it. It is amazing how a short read like that can create so many emotions (mostly sad)...
The book is about Bash's last 12 hrs... It was so eloquently written, I felt that I was there right next to him!!!
The prologue was AWESOME and the end gave me goose bumps!!!
You have to read The Last Thing first, in order to understand Bash 100%.
I never cared much about Bash while reading The Last Thing, I can even say that I disliked him. After reading Bash though, my feelings towards him changed completely.
The book gives an excellent insight to Bash's personality, feelings, flaws and relationship with Quinn.
His story is truly tragic...
LOVED IT!!!

It was nice to have Bash's story in print.
I finally got to understand why he did what he did. The pressures that he was under and that he felt that he had only one way out of it.
It's nice to see a book that deals with real life issues such as depression and suicide.
This book definitely makes you think.
Thank you Briana for bringing us Bash's story.

Why picked up this book: Bash is a short story that is apart of Briana Gaitan’s The Last Thing. I really enjoyed TLT so when this was released I immediately ordered so I could read Bash’s short story!
Some Thoughts: I honestly had a rough time deciding how I felt about Bash as I read The Last Thing, and getting this novella from his side to help shed light on why he did what he did was a nice touch. It made him less douchey let’s say and more understandable.
Bash’s story is a rough one that is raw and real. He deals with depression and uncertainty which so many teens and young adults(even adults) go through everyday. I’m glad I read it.
Should you buy: If you’ve read The Last Thing then I think you will surely want to read this as we learn about Bash and why he did what he did. If you haven’t read The Last Thing then I don’t really think it’s worth it. Kinda short. But I totally think you should get The Last Thing and then totally read this!

Bash is a story of the real hard truth of teens battling with depression and confusion. Gaitan takes us through the last 12 hours before tragedy hits, and does it in a way that will suck you into the story. If you've read "The Last Thing" then you will LOVE this
