How would you cope with your crush committing suicide? What would you do if afterwards, you received a box of cassette tapes that explain why it happened and one of the tapes was addressed to you? When Clay receives a box of cassettes after his classmate, Hannah, commits suicide, he has no idea that they will change his life, but shortly, he’ll learn how he could have potentially saved Hannah’s after listening to her “Thirteen Reasons Why.” This book is written from both the perspective of Clay and Hannah – Clay in the current moment and Hannah through her recorded tapes. It’s easy to tell the difference between the two voices since Hannah’s words are written in italics and separated from Clays with the play, pause, and stop symbols. Reading both sides of the story really puts Hannah’s struggles in perspective with what Clay and the outside world saw in Hannah. Even though we already know what happens to Hannah from the very beginning, the mystery of why it happens unfolds and it’s impossible to keep yourself from trying to figure out ways to change Hannah’s mind. Hopefully, after hearing Hannah’s story, all of us will be able to recognize the warning signs and keep others from finding their own “Thirteen Reasons Why.”Check out the book's website at http://www.thirteenreasonswhy.com/
