“Thirteen Reasons Why is a mystery, eulogy, and ceremony. Twenty or
thirty times, I snapped the book shut when a sentence, an image, or
a line of dialogue was too beautiful and painful. But I, afraid and
curious, would always return to this amazing book. I know, in years
to come, I will often return to this book.” —Sherman Alexie,
bestselling author of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time
Indian
“Every once in a while you come across a book that you can’t get
out of your mind, one you have to rush back to if you must put it
down for some reason. Jay Asher’s Thirteen Reasons Why is one of
those books, and is at the very top of my personal Must-Read list.”
—Ellen Hopkins, bestselling author of Tricks, Identical, Crank,
Burned, Impulse, and Glass
“A spectacular first novel. Jay Asher tells his story with such
honesty and simplicity that the tragedy feels shatteringly real.”
—Gordon Korman, author of Son of the Mob and Jake, Reinvented
