Th1rteen R3asons Why

I just finished reading this book.  I found it on a list of suggested reading and borrowed it from the High School library.  It was sad but I found myself reading every moment of the day when I should have been doing other things.  I want my 16 year old neice to read this book. 

A brief synopsis from the author's webpage:

Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box 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. On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list. Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.
