Reactions / Observations / and Other Comments:
Th1rteen R3asons Why grabbed me right from the start. I enjoyed the interplay between Hanna’s report of the facts (according to Hanna), and Clay’s reaction to what he discovered on each tape. I loved the suspense of finding out which tape Clay’s story appeared, and what his role was in Hanna’s life.
This book made me really think about the impact of every interaction I have with others.
