Thirteen Reasons Why

Thirteen Reasons Why you should read Thirteen Reasons Why
By: Timothy Richmond,Jr.

Reasons Why:

.Breathtaking

.Story of a lifetime

. Mesmerizing and  Thrilling

. Life Changing

. Beautiful

. Gut-Wrenching

. Intense and Inspiring

. Unique

. Heart touching

. Heartbreaking 

. Mysterious

. Spectacular

Thirteen Reasons Why is one of the best books you’ll ever read. Once you read this book you will never forget it.. It was meant to be written and it is a book that will speak to teens.  Just imagine a dead girl telling you through tapes the reasons why she committed suicide.  How would you feel or react?  Would you change the way you treat others?  Thirteen Reasons Why will change the way you treat people and have you thinking what if this was me or my friend?  This story is a page turner and it is so beautiful that is difficult to read at times.  You can actually feel the emotions of every character.  

I hope you read and enjoy a story of a lifetime!
