THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
**SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES**
“Eerie, beautiful, and devastating.” —Chicago Tribune
“A stealthy hit with staying power. . . . thriller-like pacing.” —The New York Times
“Thirteen Reasons Why will leave you with chills long after you have finished reading.” —Amber Gibson, NPR’s “All Things Considered”
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 why 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 firsthand witness to Hannah's pain, and as he follows Hannah’s recorded words throughout his town, what he discovers changes his life forever.
The way the story has been told is superb. Sometimes, I just skip to the part where Hannah is telling her story rather than hearing the thoughts of Clay. The way the author mentioned about pills seems a less painful way to commit "suicide" than slicing the wrist by blade (as revised in the film adaptation) I love the story because it has so many emotions. It's dark but somehow enlightening as well.
