13 Reasons Why, by Jay Asher

It all starts with a small package left on Clay's front porch before he gets home from school. In that box are tapes. 13 tapes, recorded by Hannah Baker - Clay's classmate and crush - who killed herself 2 weeks earlier. There are 13 reasons why Hannah committed suicide. And Clay is one of them.
Clay now has a choice. To listen to the 13 reasons, and pass along the tapes to the next person in line, or, never find out.
This was a gripping read, I was hooked to the very end. This was one of the most real books I have ever had the opportunity to read. Sad and amazing all at the same time. And it makes you realize just how much you can impact another person's life.
