"Reasons Why" I loved this book

Hey, readers! Have fun on my site!
The first book I wanted to review is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It's about a teenage boy, Clay Jensen, who recieves a set of audiotapes in the mail. He starts listening to them, only to realize that they are from Hannah Baker, a girl his age who had recently ended her life. The tapes would be sent to thirteen people, each person being a reason she decided to do it. With a map and the tapes as his guide, he travels throughout the town, to each of the places where these thirteen things happened. After he has listened to all the tapes, he then realizes how much he misses her, and how much he could have done to stop it.

First of all, I realize that was a little depressing-sounding, but I loved this book. Thirteen Reasons Why was one of those novels that you just can't put down. It was full of suspense, because you never know what the next reason is going to be, and because the whole thing is basically one rumor gone horribly wrong. It just kept snowballing out of control. I also liked that it was told from the point of view that it was, because I think it would have been too sad if Hannah was the only one telling the story. Though the book is mostly sad and eerie, the ending is positive. I
won't tell why it's positive, though, because you would have to read the book!
