After classmate Hannah's suicide, Clay receives a box of cassettes she recorded, each side relating the story of a person who figured into her decision. Clay, though he's not sure why, is one of those people. Told through the voices of angry Hannah and anguished Clay, this quietly suspenseful novel believably conveys their pain, perhaps inspiring readers to self-reflection.
