Age: 8th-12th grade

After his crush, Hannah, commits suicide, Clay Baker receives a package with no return address. Inside are several cassette tapes, each identifying 13 individuals who sent Hannah down a spiral of self-hate and loneliness which led to her suicide. At first, Clay can't figure out where he fits in but soon realizes that the social stigma placed on her caused a reluctant fear for anyone to reach out to her.

While many readers love this book for its harrowing and warning tale to treat others with respect, I could not get into the narrator, Clay, because he was never really introduced. Sure, it was Hannah's story but Clay's purpose seemed pretty useless.

I would not suggest this for someone who was close to another that committed suicide because it somewhat glamorizes the process.
