Thirteen Reasons Why

Synopsis from Goodreads:

"Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers thirteen 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."

Thirteen Reasons Why is another young-adult book focusing on the lives of teenagers and how they deal with peer pressure that they face every day. For me, I was not emotionally affected by the story. The overlapping of the thoughts between Hannah and Clay made it a bit difficult for me to be really caught up with the character. Sometimes I had to decipher who was talking or thinking. And yet, even if the storyline was a bit confusing, again, it helped to shed some light on the situations that teenagers find complicated, even if these things seem trivial to an adult. Though there was no direct bullying that occurred, it showed us the repercussions of bullying and the helplessness that the victims face. 

With plenty of characters introduced in the story and a lot of twists and turns involved, I never got lost and still was able to remember who was who if a name ever showed up in the later part of the book. The author weaved the story in such a way that some of those twists and turns come back full circle, relating one with the other, and giving an understanding to what is happening beneath the surface.
