Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher


Clay Jensen receives a set of audio tapes in the mail, tapes from Hannah, who killed herself. On the tapes, Hannah tells the story of how she reached the point of hopelessness that led her to suicide, and the role each of the thirteen recipients of the tapes played in this decision.


This is a great book for freshmen, sophomores, or juniors. I also thought that this book would be a nice segue into The Scarlet Letter. It deals with repuation and regret, much like SL.
