Synopsis

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

July 04, 2009: i loved this book.the things that happen in this book are things that happen in this world...some people dont understand how the things they say-no matter how small- can really hurt someone.this book is very very good.i think every book-person should read it...it made me cry big time, because well its sad..when i read the back of this book, i had to read it. it was a must. i needed to know why "clay" was one of her reasons...this book also made me mad. i know it isnt based on a true story, but i got mad at the way the teens in the book treated hannah.and the sad thing is people are really like that. i really love this book, everyone should read it....
