13 Reasons Why

"13 Reasons Why" is a creepy book in a weird kind of way.
It would suck to know that one of the kids you liked in school died, and sent you a tape saying that you are one of 13 people who made them kill themselves.
Well, in this suspense book a teenage boy named Clay Jensen got what he never expected, a box addressed to him. And what was in this box, well, it was 13 tapes. He had no idea who sent those tapes, and why.
What he discovered about these tapes was amazing. He not only discovered that these tapes are sent by Hannah Baker who killed herself two weekes earlier, but he was one reason why she committed suicide.
Clay also got a map which had stars on them, and each star represented a place that Hannah had been to which gave her memories. Some of those places gave Hannah bad memories, but others were good.
There were 13 tapes addressed to 13 people including Clay himself. In order to find why he is one of those people, Clay must listen to the tapes until Hannah talks about him, but he also must continue to listen. He discovers shocking secrets that he did not know about until then.
Just listening to Hannah's voice breaks his heart and also knowing that he could have saved Hannah from committing suicide, breaks is heart even more. It is sure a challenge for him.
After listening to the tapes, Clay has to fight another challenge, going back to school, and seeing those other 13 people on the tapes.
If you are keen on reading this book you will have to know that it does have scenes in the book that is inappropriate for some readers. Other than that have a good time reading and make sure you atleast read half the book, you will regret it if you don't.

It sounds kind of depressing. Do you ever meet any of the other people that made Hannah do this?

Wow. Thats sounds like the type of book I would read. I'm kind of curious about whether or not you actually meet any of the other 12 people too. Is it just one book or a series?
