Clay Jensen finds a package on his front porch. When he opens it, he discovers seven cassettes tapes. He's startled to discover that Hannah Baker, his secret crush, had recorded the tapes. Hannah had just committed suicide a couple of weeks before. On the tapes, Hannah claims to explain the 13 reasons why she did what she did, and if you are listening to the tapes, then you have played a part. Clay can't imagine what he might have done since he had worshiped Hannah from afar and had very little direct contact with her. He listens to the tapes and learns what Hannah's life had been.
Another heavy duty young adult selection. It shows how perceptions are different depending on what side you are on. High school seems to be a virtual war zone these days. I'm so glad to be past that.
