Review
Thirteen Reasons Why bercerita tentang Clay Jensen, seorang remaja SMA yang suatu hari mendapatkan kiriman paket berisi tujuh buah kaset. Saat memainkan kaset pertama, dia mendengar suara Hannah Baker, gadis yang dia sukai yang baru saja meninggal karena bunuh diri. Dalam setiap rekaman, Hannah bercerita tentang alasan keputusan yang dia ambil, serta tiga belas orang yang mendorongnya ke titik tersebut.
I hope you're ready because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why. (hal. 7)
