There is no simpler way to put it than I LOVED THIS BOOK. It was a complete surprise as the last couple book club books have been a tidbit disappointing. However, I couldn't put this down from the moment I picked it up. Yes I read it all in one night. The story is about a high school girl that commits suicide and leaves 13 cassette tapes behind, one for each person who contributed to her decision to end her life. Each person must listen to the tapes to learn why earned the guilt and pain that comes with listening to these tapes. It is a roller coaster of emotion and although it is not a true story, the stories pulls me right back to my high school days. No matter what your age, this book causes you to step back and think through your own behavior whether it is past, present, or future. It puts things in perspective and reminds you that there are always two sides to an interaction. A meaningless one on your end might end up being monumental on the other end.
