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.

At least 5 of my friends suggested this book for me. So, I picked it up. Let me just say, I was not disappointed a bit. I stayed up late at night reading it and was intrigued by how thought out the characters were. The plot moves quite quickly just to warn you but you grow to love the characters, especially Clay (The main protagonist) as he adventures around town, listening to the last words of his first love, Hannah. I'm not gonna lie, I cried. There was a mixture of laugh, tears and just heart warming words and sympathy. This is a book I would definitely recommend.

My grandson did not seem to be interested and I did not read the book myself.
