Book overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - In this poignant young adult novel that inspired the Netflix original series, a high schooler learns that he is one of the thirteen reasons why his classmate committed suicide.

"Eerie, beautiful, and devastating."--The Chicago Tribune

"A stealthy hit with staying power. . . . thriller-like pacing."--The New York Times

"Thirteen Reasons Why will leave you with chills long after you have finished reading."--NPR

You can't stop the future.
You can't rewind the past.
The only way to learn the secret . . . is to press play.

Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker--his classmate and crush--who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah's voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why.

Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a first-hand witness to Hannah's pain and learns the truth about himself--a truth he never wanted to face.
