Summary From Goodreads:

Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers thirteen 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.

Review:

I would like every teen to read this book, even though I am not a teen anymore, I had a friend thinking about killing herself and even started cutting too. She's way better now but back then I didn't know how to help her and we kind of drifted apart. Anyways, I really liked this book and it has a great message about how just one person actions even if its something little can change a persons life. Also, I liked how it was two simultaneous narratives, the raw emotions from Clay and Hannah made you feel like you were with them going through this.  All in all, this is really a good book even though it might be hard to read, it will defiantly change how you affect peoples lives.
