Whoa, what a ride. This is an awesome high school YA book. The story centers around a set of cassette tapes that are mailed to a high school student with no return address. When Clay, the protagonist, starts listening the voice of Hannah, a dead student tells him that if he is hearing these tapes he is one of the “13 reasons why” she committed suicide. Told from alternating voices of Clay and Hannah, this book really does whip up a poignant tale. Again, not a book I would pick up it was so very good I couldn’t put it down. A warning there are scenes you will feel uncomfortable reading but I suggest you deal with that and keep reading. Excellent book for high school, if you have a mature middle school student they might be able to handle it with guidance. Loved the ending too- great message.
