Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, 288 pages

Thirteen Reasons Why is a teen book which may be considered controversial, but I found it a great story about teens and is really quite relevant in today's society where kids may be bullied. Clay Jenson finds himself on the receiving end of mysterious tapes that contain the thirteen reasons why Hannah Baker committed suicide.  Listening to this book on a playaway made the story all that more intense as you are listening to Hannah's voice on the tapes.  I recommend this read to both teens and adults.  It was really eye opening.

Clay Jenson returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker - his classmate and crush - who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah's voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why. Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a first-hand witness to Hannah's pain, and learns the truth about himself - a truth he never wanted to face.
