13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher


A guest review from Teen Room Staff Cat!

If you were to die tomorrow what would you want to tell your friends? Hannah Baker has thought about this and she has all the answers or thirteen of them at least. Hannah is a good girl with a bad reputation and when her life spirals out of control she decides she has had enough, so she kills herself. But she is not about to be forgotten. She leaves thirteen tapes for her classmates to listen to, thirteen reason why she died.
The story follows Clay Jensen’s journey through Hannah’s mind and life, as he tries to figure out why he is on Hannah’s list, and who else caused her death.

This story has some obvious mature material in it. I would recommend it though, it is a great book. I couldn’t put it down. I just had to know how it ended.
