About this listen

 Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package 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. Hannah's voice explains that there are 13 reasons she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why.

Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a first-hand witness to Hannah's pain, and learns the truth about himself - a truth he never wanted to face.

What the critics say

“[Hannah’s] pain is gut-wrenchingly palpable.... Asher has created an entrancing character study and a riveting look into the psyche of someone who would make this unfortunate choice. A brilliant and mesmerizing debut from a gifted new author.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review and Editor’s Choice)

“Heavy but compelling.... Asher’s novel asks us to look at how petty cruelty can deal crushing blows.” (Miami Herald)

“It is a brilliant debut that will leave readers feeling a sense of remorse for Hannah, guilt for Clay, and hope for the lasting lesson of the story.” (Bookazine)
All stars
Most relevant
love both narrators for Hannah and Clays perspectives. Wish there is more to Clay's and Hannah's story. Since Hannah recorded her tapes based on timeline, the severity of the reasons are all over the place, it will build up then dissipate.

Nice voice over performance

I watched the series before I read the book. Listening gives you a completely different perspective. Both narrators deserve amazing praise for the emotional performances that they evoke from an unbelievably heartbreaking novel that EVERYONE should read if not hear at least once in their lifetime.

So heartbreaking

I physically read the book and then when I went camping, I downloaded the audiobook to listen to on the way there and it just made reading the book that much better, it was great. I also think having another voice for Hannah added a lot more character and made it easier to follow along. I would recommend this book as a good YA novel. #Audible1

Better than just reading it
