SSR Book Response

The book I read for this quarter was Thirteen Reasons Why, by Jay Asher. It contains 288 pages. This novel takes place in a small town named Crestmont. In the town, a girl has recently committed suicide. Her name was Hannah Baker. She left behind cassette tapes for the reasoning of her suicide. In total there is seven cassette tapes. One through six contains an A and B side. A friend of Hannah Baker named Clay Jensen receives the tapes she sent out. These people have either been good or affected her life. This book's downside is that it can get confusing between Clay and Hannah. When Hannah speaks Clay thinks along, but sometimes he would be thinking or doing something completely different from what Hannah is doing. I mean it's normal for people to do that, but it makes it more complicated in my opinion. If Hannah were to explain her own story and let Clay explain what he thinks about it after would be less confusing. At the same time, I understand that the author wants him to project what he thinks about what Hannah is saying. 

The main characters of this novel are very understandable to me in my opinion. Afterall though I'm a little depressed so I understand why. I just feel a little sad at the end on how many people have caused her to commit suicide. Life is difficult, but you shouldn't be dragged down by peers in your life. Those people wouldn't be any better than you if they keep doing the bad stuff in life.
