__ **Summary** __ Clay Jensen is teenage boy, doing all the right things, working at the local theater, and in line to be valedictorian. Hannah Baker was a teenage girl going through the pressures of high school, also working at the local theater. Until she committed suicide. Thirteen tapes show up on Clay Jensen's doorstep one day, telling the thirteen reasons why Hannah Baker committed suicide. On every tape, there is a story of a person and why what they did to Hannah led to her suicide, and Clay is waiting to find out what he did.

__ **Review** __ //Thirteen Reasons Why// is a fantastic story, even though it is very depressing. It shows how one little thing you do to a person can change a life. Asher did a great job building the story behind Hannah's story, but I feel like he didn't put enough back story into Clay and Hannah's relationship with each other. At times, I found connecting the dots between all thirteen reasons hard to follow, but eventually it all made sense. I would absolutely recommend this book to a peer, so long as they can handle a tearjerker. Hannah Baker's story showed me how much we choose to ignore in life, especially as teenagers.
