Th1rteen R3asons Why
by Jay Asher
Imagine getting home from school to find a package with no return address waiting for you. How exciting! Maybe you won a contest or have a secret crush. But inside you find a bunch of cassette tapes. And when you finally find a machine that still plays tapes you feel like someone just flipped a switch inside you, changing all your excitement into dread. The voice on the tapes belongs to a girl you knew only briefly, a girl who killed herself a few weeks before. And she tells you there are thirteen sides on these tapes. There are thirteen sides to every story. There are thirteen reasons she killed herself. And you’re one of them.
This is, without a doubt, the BEST book I have read in a very long time.
