To start off, I love to read books and fanfictions. Now, I tend to read more fanfics than books haha. I guess what pulls me more towards fanfics is that I already knew the characters featured beforehand and the sense of familiarity allows me to relate to them better and easier, even if the story is set in an AU.
Still, I read some books from time to time. The book that I just love the most is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I first heard of the book after reading a Big Time Rush fanfiction (you guessed it haha) which is based on a book storyline and I was so intrigued by the storyline that I felt inclined to read the original book.
Personally, I feel that the storyline is just so unique. It's just fascinating to see how the author piece all the events that led up to the main character (Hannah) deciding to commit suicide. Even though she was already dead when the story starts, she somehow felt alive through the casette tapes. And I really like the overall message of the book and the way it ended. Listening all of the casette tapes, Clay (the only good person in Hannah's list) was deeply affected and started to regret not approaching Hannah and consoling her if he had just persisted. So Clay noticed that a person he knew was showing the same symptoms as Hannah and approached her before she did anything.
I love the book a lot. I've re-read it at least thrice now.
