Thirteen Reasons Why

     Two weeks after Hannah Baker commits suicide, her classmate, Clay Jensen, finds a box of cassette tapes on his porch. The tapes--seven in all--are recorded by Hannah herself. Hannah's voice tells Clay that there are thirteen reasons she ended her life and that each side of each tape tells one of those reasons. Hannah also says that Clay is one of those reasons--but on what tape does Clay's name appear? To find out, Clay must listen to all the tapes, which means he has to follow Hannah down the path that led to her final decision.

  

  Thirteen Reasons Why is one of those books that you start reading and then can't put down. It has a very strong message about how things that may seem funny and lighthearted at the time can have a huge effect farther down the road. Some things seemed to me pointless to include in the story, but overall this was a really good book that I enjoyed reading.
