Your Friend Wants you to Read This
13 Reasons Why—Jay Asher
This book is about Hannah, who commits suicide. She leaves behind tapes for Clay explaining why she did it. I love the way this book is written. It really brought you into the book and was quite amazing. There were so many emotions that really get to you. The characters in this book really bring out how much Hannah left behind and the pain she caused without thinking about it. Honestly, this book should be required reading!
