This is one of the most depressing books I've ever read. I, however, like how we followed Hanna's tapes from a guy who loved her's perspective. The book ended on a hopeful note, which was good.

This is a hard book to like. Hannah basically blames everyone on those tapes for having a part in her suicide, but what about the choices SHE made? There are many examples that she has pointed out in the tapes where she chose inaction. Life is all about choices, the ones we did AND did not make. I really hate when someone does not take responsibility for their own actions. This isn't a book that I would recommend.

Clay Jensen is really excited when he receives an anonymous package addressed to him. He doesn't remain so for long though. Inside the package are thirteen tapes each labeled with a number. He pops in tape one and a girl starts speaking. He is surprised when he recognizes the voice as that of Hannah Baker, who committed suicide just a few weeks ago. These tapes are addressed to those thirteen people who led her to suicide. And Clay is one of those reasons why.
