The entire book of Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher takes place throughout the course of one day. The main character, Clay, receives a package with thirteen cassette tapes inside. The tapes are from Hannah, a girl that committed suicide at Clay’s school. Each tape explains a reason why she decided to end her life, and there is a list of people that Hannah wanted the tapes to be sent to. Clay isn’t sure why he receives the tapes, but he soon gets to see an entirely different side of a person he thought he knew. This is a book that allows you to see the repercussions of bullying and the insensitivity of many teenagers. It shows that the little things, good or bad, go a long way.
