JF: Thirteen Reasons Why (YA) (4.5/5)


JF: Thirteen Reasons Why (YA) (4.5/5)

Hannah, a HS student, committed suicide. No one was really sure why. Until the tapes came. . .

Hannah made tapes detailing the reasons why, and the people responsible for, her suicide. This is harsh teenage reality--rumors hurting reputations, drinking, rape. This is not a happy book but it is extremely powerful. How does someone feel so alone? How could no one notice her state of mind? This is unfortunately a very real book. Teenagers will totally be hooked into the book--I was.
