| "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 learns the truth about himself-a truth he never wanted to face." |
-Jay Asher, Non-fiction author of "Thirteen Reasons Why"

I just started a non-fiction novel for the first time in a long time. "13 Reason's Why," by Jay Asher is about a set of cassette tapes sent by a girl who committed suicide that explains the 13 reasons for her suicide, that are 13 different people at her school that she places blame on... I've only read a couple of chapters but that is the gist I gathered from the back cover and the Amazon.com description I read prior to purchase.
Thus far, the book is fantastic and I received rave-reviews from my mother-in-law. It's very fast paced which is something I require when reading (ADHD isn't very fun), so thus far I'm very happy with the book.
