=13 Reasons Why, by Jay Asher=

Overview
This book written by Jane Asher and published by Penguin Group Penguin Young Readers Group in 2007, is the dramatic account of a girl on the edge. She feels as though her life is not her own, that nobody cares about her and that she has run out of reasons to live. Before she commits suicide, she records her own eulogy on tape, pointing out the people in her life who effected her decision. She sends these tapes to each person that she blames for assisting her suicide. These are her "13 Reasons Why." As the tapes get sent from person to person, the truth about Hannah's death and the students of her school are revealed. We get to see the story through the eyes of Clay Jensen, who always had a crush on Hannah but never had the guts or took the initiative to get to know her further. As he listens to Hannah's tapes he begins to understand why she felt the way she did:
