In case you have no idea what this book is out, here's the summary:
Thirteen Reasons Why is the story of a girl named Hannah Baker who takes her own life. But before she does, she records several cassette tapes explaining whyand sends them to the people she feels pushed her toward that decision. The story is told from the point of view of Clay Jensen who spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah’s voice as his guide. He becomes a first-hand witness to Hannah’s pain, and learns the truth about himself—a truth he never wanted to face.

That's a very clever and interesting website and I think it will benefit a lot of people. At least, I am hoping that it will reach them. I've seen this book on the shelves of my local bookstore, but it's never made it's way to my library as I was hoping that it would. Still, though, I've leafed through it and actually come close to buying it a couple off times. So, thank you, so much for this generous giveaway! :)
