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 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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A hard-hitting game changer of a young adult novel, Thirteen Reasons Why reveals how cruel gossip and bullying lead to a teen’s suicide. Clay Jensen receives a mysterious box in the mail, filled with audiocassettes recorded by his high school crush, Hannah Baker, just before she committed suicide. Author Jay Asher uses his two protagonists’ dual narratives to take us on a heart-wrenching journey. Hannah recounts the story of each person who tormented her, and Clay struggles to piece together the events that led up to Hannah's death. As Clay cycles through a series of strong emotions, we come along for the ride.
Customer Reviews
Literally my favorite book.
The writing in this book in incredible. Especially considering this is Jay Asher's first published book.
The emotions and thoughts of Hannah are incredibly real and hit close to home and there is something everyone can take away from this book.
Whether you are Hannah, Clay or any of the other thirteen reasons.
I borrowed this book years ago from a library and in the time I had it I renewed it twice (the maximum amount allowed at said library) read it three times and lent it to several friends.
I have since bought my own copy and gifted it to many friends who have loved it as much as I still do.
It's been probably five years since then and I probably reread the book every six months, and take something different from it each time.
Omg sooo good
