Clay Jenkins returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers 13 cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker—his classmate and crush—who committed suicide two weeks earlier.On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list.Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.
no matter how you look at it this was a really bad book and it's insulting that it was made into a tv series to be consumed by easily-manipulated suicidal teenagers
Nice book, cool idea! But not really breathtaking or shocking. The end could have been so much better! Sigh!
