Thirteen Reasons Why

I answer a state suicide hotline as part of my job duties, so this book was recommended to me because of the topic, and I'm so glad it was. I loved the premise of the story, and the way it was written with the dual narratives. It intrigued me from the first page and I didn't want to put it down until I was finished. This was a great way to open readers' eyes to the fact that every little action you take CAN have an effect, whether you realize it or not. It also gave insight into one of the many, many reasons why someone would consider suicide and how by perpetuating the stigma that so many people put on suicide and ignoring signs when you see them in someone, you could inadvertently be taking away any hope the person might have. Definitely recommended!
