Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asker

I have decided this book needs to be required reading for high school instead of The Invisible Man.  This book grabbed you from the first page and didn't let you go until the last page. 

It is the amazing and heartbreaking story of Hannah, who kills herself and leaves tapes for 13 people explaining why she did it.  Her story is not unique, but it paints a picture of how high school life is not all sunshine and roses for everyone.  I finished the book 5 hours ago and still cannot stop thinking about it.

This book will stay with me for a long, long time.

Way to go Mr. Asher.
