Wow! It was such a deep and intense story. I am really glad I got a chance to read this. 'Thirteen Reasons Why' is so good, that after I read the last line of the book, I felt hope for Clay, to move on with his life and how sometimes people get involved into you and you don't even notice.

Very intense!
Clay comes home one day to fins a package for him that arrived in the mail. And everyone likes getting pages, right? In this case wrong. The package contains a series of tapes recorder by Hannah Baker before she committed suicide a couple weeks before. Each side of a tape is for a person who is one of the 13 people who helped her come to the decision to kill herself. Clay isn't sure what he did or why he is one of the 13 so he listens to the tapes to find out. ...more
