THIRTEEN REASONS WHY by JAY ASHER

After the suicide of Clay’s high school friend Hannah, he receives the tapes she recorded as a suicide ‘note’ – one for each person she  considers instrumental in her decision to take her life. Clay listens to all thirteen tapes as Hannah reveals, in her final thoughts, how seemingly small actions can have an effect on other people’s
lives. Thought-provoking without being preachy, this book provides an insight into the sometimes brutal social lives of teenagers. Compulsive reading.
