Rating and Review
I enjoyed Thirteen Reasons Why. I found it to be a very interesting read. It was a bit creepy. I would recommend it for older audiences because certain scene's and language. It was an interesting story told in an interesting way. It was told from Clay's point of view with Hannah's tapes in between. I would say the tapes are my favorite part of Thirteen Reasons Why.
