Hannah baker is in high school... no, Hannah was in high school, she committed suicide... two weeks before you (as the reader) get to meet Clay Jensen, who was her classmate--he was kind of her friend, and apparently he had a crush on her... oh, and he supposedly was one of the reasons Hannah choose to end her own life.
What happens is that everyone who is in the tapes needs to end up listening them, and if the tapes stop circulating though these people before all 13 get them, then Hannah gave someone a second set of identical tapes, and if everyone who's on the tapes doesn't listen to them, then the person with the second set is supposed to let out the tapes for everyone to hear, which is the 13 people's motivation to keep passing the tapes on.
And Clay wants to listen to them because he is dying to know why his name is on the list of people somehow related to Hannah's suicide.
To see "Hannah's Reasons", a blog made by "hannahsfriend13", that has blog posts that follow the plot of the book, and audio-video recordings of "Hannah's tapes", click here. And to go to Jay Asher's website about the book (the website includes some of the same videos and attachments as the blog), click here.
OH yeah, and hey, I may or may not be doing NaNoWriMo... if I ever start writing something, let alone finish it...

This is a great book! I'm glad you wrote a post on it. Thanks for the link to her blog.
Her blog is great and so is the book... but it made me cry. All the best books do though! :)
