I'm a reader- a big one...in fact I think I read 4 books in the last week alone. Usually brainless girly books. Every once in a while, I need something serious.
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher.... holy cow. Seriously.
The story: This kid (Clay) who receives an anonymous package with a bunch of tapes from a girl (Hannah) in his class that recently killed herself, each side of the tape points a finger to someone (13 people) who, in some way, lead to her to suicide.
Some of the people she mentions early on start of with typical high school drama...but when it gets to the end of the tapes/books and real drama begins to unfold...and the snowball effects from earlier...it becomes too much. Then she feels her lack of action on 2 life altering events for 2 other individuals makes her partly responsible... Which given the state she currently in too much. But she goes for help- she cries out- and the person that she went to for guidance is really the most disappointing person in her reasons why. It was totally heartbreaking.
Read this book. It's amazing.
