Plot Overview

When Clay Jensen finds a box of audio cassette tapes left on his front doorstep, he learns that they are from a classmate of his, Hannah Baker, who recently committed suicide. As he listens to the first tape on his friend Tony's Walkman, Clay learns about the events that lead up to Hannah's suicide and begins the first tape by telling the story of her first kiss with classmate Justin Foley, who ends up spreading a rumor of a sexual nature that affects Hannah's reputation.

Quotes

  • Hannah Baker: Hey, it's Hannah, Hannah Baker. That's right. Don't adjust your... whatever device you're listening to this on. It's me, live and in stereo. No return engagements, no encore and this time, absolutely no requests. Get a snack, settle in, 'cause I'm about to tell you the story of my life.
  • Hannah Baker: The rules here are pretty simple. There are only two. Rule number one: you listen. Number two: you pass it on. Hopefully, neither one will be easy. It's not supposed to be easy or I would have emailed you an MP3. When you're done listening to all 13 sides, because there are 13 sides to every story, rewind the tapes, put them back in the box and pass them on to the next person.
  • Hannah Baker: I know what you're all thinking. Hannah Baker is a slut. Oops. Did you catch that? I just said, "Hannah Baker is." Can't say that anymore.
  • Hannah Baker: A rumor based on a kiss ruined a memory that I hoped would be special. In fact, it ruined just about everything as you'll soon see. And stick around, Justin. I'm not through with you yet. I know you probably didn't mean to let me down. In fact, most of you listening probably had no idea what you were truly doing, but you'll find out. Turn the tape over for more.
