The book has been extremely popular with teens as it takes on and addresses both teen suicide and teen sexual assault ....it's about a girl who commits suicide and before she dies makes a tape telling the thirteen reasons why she did it and the thirteen people who contributed to her demise ...powerfully intense stuff here ...well written
Netflix did an outstanding job turning the book into a 13 episode series ......I highly recommend watching it with your teenaged kids.....one caveat is it's rated TV-MA for language and some fairly graphic sexual assault scenes so if that makes you squeamish watching it with your kids it could be an issue and maybe the book is a better route ...we are more than ok with all that and watching the episodes made for some very worthwhile discussions with our daughter ..
highly recommend both the book and made for TV series
