13 Reasons Why By: Jay Asher

The book I read was 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. This book is realistic fiction because someone could actually commit suicide in real life. There is a girl named Hannah Baker and she went to Liberty High school. The one thing you learn about her at the beginning of the story is she commits suicide. Clay, a former classmate of Hannah, was a friend and also co-worker came home to a box in his mailbox. He went to his room to open it and there were cassette tapes in the box. He went down to his basement because he knew he had a player that plays cassette tapes. Clay was riding his bike around town and was listening to the tapes, but then later he fell off it and broke the cassette player. He knew his friend Tony had one because they would play songs on it all the time. So the next day he went to Tony's house and stole his cassette player. The first tape explains that there are 13 tapes and that each tape is a reason why she killed herself. Also, if you got the tape you are on it and when you are done listening to them then you would have to pass it on to the next person. 

This book was really addicting to read and I couldn't stop reading it. The author Jay Asher used so many describing words while I was reading the book, I sometimes got the chills. In the book, there are so many emotions and decision that Hannah felt and went through that it kind of makes you wonder what you would do in her situation. 13 Reasons Why is also a T.V. show, I recommend if you have not had the chance to read the book or see the show you do both in whatever order works for your life.
