Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher
4.0

I had high expectations for this book going into it because for years I had been hearing how great it was but when reading it was not in the mindset to enjoy this book because I had to give it back soon and wanted to read something else but by the end of the book I thoroughly enjoyed.
This book is quite depressing. The story follows a boy who loves this girl, Hannah Baker, who has recently committed suicide. Instead of a note she left tape cassettes adressed to 13 people who caused her suicide. I think the use of the media of audiotapes is really cool because you can listen to them as you read but even if you don't you can hear her voice as you read it and I thought that was very interesting.
A quick read. Very fast paced.
