Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay AsherMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Clay Jensen finds a mysterious package on his porch and discovers that it contains a series of audiotapes from classmate Hannah Baker explaining 13 reasons why she committed suicide. Hannah Baker's voice narrates much of the book, interspersed with Clay's thoughts and interactions with those still living. Gripping account of a teen's feelings of isolation and powerlessness. I couldn't put this book down. Recommended for fans of John Green's Looking for Alaska. This also reminded me of Simon Lelic's A Thousand Cuts, which I loved.
