Before Hannah Baker ended her life with an overdose of pills, she wanted to leave behind a message. She recorded seven tapes (thirteen sides) that revealed bit by bit her drama and why she, in the end, felt like she had no other options. Clay Jensen is one of the tape's recipients. He is the narrator through the listening experience. Hannah's words are heard alongside his thoughts and words. Hers are italicized. His aren't. Clay Jensen returns home from school to find an unusual box 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. And from the time he hits play...his life will already never be the same. This novel is filled with many unanswered questions, although it keeps the reader going because there is always a question. As the story unfolds, the reader learns that some actions have abrupt consequences. So far I am really enjoying this novel and it has kept me motivated to see what is coming next.
And you finished another book! Great reading and posting.
