Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Thirteen Reasons Why
By Jay Asher





I picked up this book at the library yesterday. I thought it would be good and it had great reviews.
I wasn't disappointed!

The subject of this book is suicide.
I am only going to write a brief summary because I'm hoping that people will want to read this book.
Please do.


The summary on the back of the book states:

"You can't stop the future. 
You can't rewind the past. 
The only way to learn the secret... 
is to press play.

Clay Jensen doesn't want anything to do with the tapes Hannah Baker made. 
Hannah is dead. Her secrets should be buried with her.
The Hannah's voice tells Clay that his name is on her tapes- and that he is, in some way, responsible for her death. 
All through the night, Clay keeps listening. He follows Hannah's recorded words throughout his small town... and what he discovers changes his life forever."

Thirteen Reasons Why follows the story of a boy named Clay Jensen and his involvement in the suicide of Hannah Baker.

I hope this books enlightens the teenage and young adult community that words do hurt. Things made up as a joke can ruin peoples lives.

Well, that's all for now! Thirteen Reasons Why is available in 31 languages so check out your library today~
