The book thirteen reasons Why is about a girl named Hannah Baker who committed suicide. The purpose of this book is to know why Hannah did what she did. Before she committed suicide she left behind 7 tapes and on both sides there were reasons why she did what she did. After she finished recording the tapes she sent it to the first person mentioned on them. The secret about the tapes is that on each set there is a person mentioned and Hannah tells her story about how that person effected her life and made her do what she did. In the beginning of the book it first starts off with a girl but it doesn't exactly explain who it is, the thing is she just starts off saying she's going to school, walks into her class and sees an empty desk. That empty desk used to be Hannah's and after that it goes into the person that got the tapes - Clay Jensen. The funny thing about him getting the tapes in the beginning of the story was that his name wasn't the first name on the first tape, or even the second. I find out it interesting how his name isn't in the first two tapes but he was like the first one to receive the tapes from the start of the story. In the book Thirteen Reasons Why it states "I shouldn't even be on this list, I didn't even do anything," that statement was said by Clay. When he first read the tapes he didn't understand why he even got them in the first place because he feels like he never really talked to Hannah the last time he remembers actually seeing and talking to her was a couple months ago at a party when they made out. I'm going to keep reading to find out exactly why Clay is really on those tapes.
From what I read so far I think that before Hannah left she did have many problems going on. However, I still don't understand how it got so bad that she had to kill herself. I read that this guy named Justin who was Hannah's first crush made up many lies about her. She was just the new girl in town so it was easy for people to make up lies about her and it let people believe them too. Justin was Hannah's first real kiss that happened in the park while they were alone. He was a sophomore and she was a freshmen so it was easier for him to lie about what happened that day. They went out for a month or so and the rummers were going around without Hannah knowing about it until the end. Justin ended up saying that more then a kiss happened that night and thats when things began to get ugly. At first only a few people knew about it but then those people told more people and it kept expanding until Hannah found it but it was too late to put an end to it. Then thats when people started talking more and more about her and I can understand why that would be one reason to committed suicide I guess you could say. But I really want to know the other reasons why she did it and thats why Im going to keep reading until I find out the truth.
