Wow, this book was incredibly written. The story is about this girl, Hannah, who has committed suicide. But before she did this she made a series of cassette tapes outlining the reasons why she did what she did. And she sends the tapes to the first person on the list, who then has to forward the tapes to the next person, and so on, after listening to them. What I love about how it's written is the story of Hannah intertwines with one person, Clay, who is on the list somewhere, and it is going through his story of getting the tapes and listening to the tapes. So you get to read a bit of Clay, and what is happening in his present, and then a bit of Hannah, and her reasons. It's emotional and gives you a lot to think about. Would have been great to read in jr. / sr. high school as a teenager. I think this book should be in school curriculum. Will need to read more books by him!
