The second season of the Golden Globe nominated Thirteen Reasons Why is now on Netflix.
Read the sensational book that has taken the YA world by storm.
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 comes home from school to find outside his front door a mysterious box with his name on it.
Inside he discovers a series of cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker – his classmate and crush. Only, she committed suicide two weeks earlier.
On the first tape, Hannah explains that there are 13 reasons why she did what she did – and Clay is one of them.
If he listens, Clay will find out how he got onto the list – what he hears will change his life forever.
Perfect for fans of The Fault In Our Stars and All the Bright Places.

So sad from the beginning to the end, a poinent reminder that each and every day what we say and do can have an impact on those around us
This show is like no other I've seen, at least in a long time. 13 reasons hits on every hard topic (aside from abortion) that teens could possibly go through. They give a full scope on the challenges being faced by our youth today and there is some comfort in the words they say as they help you navigate through a tough time being had on screen that can be related to yours or anyone else's life off-screen. The actors did an amazing job acting such emotional scenes, it was sometimes very difficult to watch and I ugly cried a few times but it should make you uncomfortable, and hopefully, that feeling will make you feel so gross that you can be the strength to stand up and stand together. I loved this message and although it can be tough to watch I definitely urge others to give it a shot and ask themselves how they feel about these harsh topics.
I didn’t want to put it down, I really enjoyed the dual narrative and how well it told the story. I also liked how it had a follow along series on Netflix and would 100% recommend.
really good book
I really liked the book it was engaging and I always wanted to know what happens next
Made me cry so much
it was very engaging and was addicting to read. i would highly reccomend it.
This is such a beautiful heartbreaking story about Why a young girl committed suicide. Although the story is slightly confusing and slightly challenging, finishing it was a big achievement.
I loved this book. I felt like I understood the girl as she told her story through the tape. It was a really unique read and I felt like my emotions were reflected in the main male as I was reading. So yeah, would recommend strongly.
This book was over-whelming surreal! However, I think that this is more a parent book than it is a teenage book. Hannah is, no, was just a regular girl but maybe not so regular seeing as she committed suicide. There are 13 reasons to her death and you are one of them...
This book is an eye-opener to children and parents alike. Children of 13-21 should read this book to know what they should not subject themselves to. Parents should read this as a heart-opener to what their child might be going through.
A brilliant book but, I have a warning:
THIS BOOK CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13!
