About The Book
Clay receives a package one day and when he opens it there are tapes and maps inside.  He starts listing to the tapes and realizes the voice on them are that of Hannah Baker who recently commuted suicide. There are thirteen reasons why she committed suicide and they are on these tapes that Clay is listening to. Each of the people get the tapes and when they are done have to pass them on to the next person who is after them.  Clay goes on a journey while he is listening to the tapes.


REVIEW
I wanted to re read the book because  on march 31st the Netflix drama that is based on the book comes out.

When I first read it I enjoyed. As I'm re reading it I am wondering why I gave it four stars. I found it confusing they way it was laied out with the italics as Hannah was speaking through the book to Clay's normal style.

It covers a hard topic in suicide but it's really not as good as I remember.

I power read through the book and didn't like it as much as I did the first time. So much so that it actually went from a 4 star book down to a 2 star book. (When I first read it, it was a 3.75 book but I just rounded it up to a four).
