Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher is about Hannah Baker and the people that have affected her in her life. Hannah Baker however has taken her own life already. Hannah had killed herself and shortly before the incident created a set of tapes explaining the reasons why she had done so. Clay Jensen, who had a crush on Hannah, receives the tapes and the story goes on to tell the events and reasons that led to Hannah’s death. The tapes come with a map that is to be used while listening to the tapes.
This story was interesting because it brought attention to the reality of the problem of suicide in our society. After reading this book i discovered that suicide rates are highest in the teenager and young adult age group. Asher has done a perfect job of bringing attention to this problem while creating a tragic and interesting story in the process. I also like how the author constantly changed the point of view in the story by switching between Clay’s point of view and Hannah’s point of view. If you like Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, then you’ll love Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson.
