Super good book.
A box of cassettes arrive at good-guy-Clay's house, and he has no clue what is in store for him. His crush, Hannah Baker, killed herself recently, and it is her voice on the tapes...she has 13 reasons, 13 connections, 13 people who impacted her decision. While the overall story is a bummer--Hannah goes through things no teenager (let alone an adult) should have to experience, but the overall message of connection is totally worth the pain. Every single thing we do as humans impact something--someone--and we may not even realize it. So when someone ponders whether to say "hi" to an outcast, maybe think about the good that could come from your positive interactions.
I got to listen to the audiobook--and the man and woman who read this (it is told in alternating voices--totally awesome) did an amazing job. Really an excellent text!
