Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
304 pages
I love YA. I love well-written YA. I love YA characters that feel so real to me.
These YA characters didn't feel all that real to me. But, I read the entire thing in about 2 hours, so it kept me interested just the same.
Clay receives a strange package one day -- seven cassette tapes. After he begins listening to it, he recognizes the voice on the tape as Hannah, a classmate he knew that recently committed suicide. On each side of the tapes, Hannah describes a person and a situation that led her to her final days before committing suicide.
I enjoyed the descriptions of high school and living in a small town. That was all very familiar to me. But something about the two main characters -- Hannah and Clay -- just struck me as off and I'm unsure exactly of why.
