When it comes to reading, I'm very picky. If it does not catch my attention, I won't read it. I'm a huge fan of the Twilight Saga and the Harry Potter books but I wouldn't say those are my favorite books. In my freshman year, I was assigned to read a book called Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I was hooked by just reading the back of the book. In fact, I was so hooked that I went to purchase the book myself after school the day it was assigned to me and finished reading the book the next day. I found it so good that I've read it three times. Long story short, the book is about a teen named Hannah Baker who committed suicide and left a box that contained cassette tapes explaining the thirteen reasons that led her to killing herself, a list of people's names, and very specific instructions for the people who's names are on the list. 
I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who asks me if I know of any good books to read, simply because it's a great book in my opinion. It's suspenseful, addicting and leaves you with chills. If you are into mystery and drama, this book would be the perfect fit! One of the reasons I fell in love with this book is because I can somehow relate to it. No, I'm not suicidal. Never that.But, there are events in the book that many teens could relate to. I am a big fan of teen fiction books which is why I'm so hooked. I highly recommend. 
Thirteen Reasons Why was published in 2007. In 2011, it hit #1 in the New York Times best-seller list. There will be a Netflix series based on the book releasing on March 31st (as you can see the trailer at the top), which I am very excited about. Hopefully it's as good as the book but let's phase it; the book is always better. The book can be found at any Barnes & Nobble or online.
