'13 Reasons Why': The Most Meaningful Passages in the Book Ranked By Readers

13 Reasons Why is creating a lot of feelings for fans of the Netflix series.

And rightfully so. The storyline — about the aftermath of a high school girl’s suicide — is powerful, hard to watch, a little depressing… and very real.

Before Selena Gomez adapted the story to the series, it was an equally powerful and even more detailed book by Jay Asher and was first published in 2006.

Fans are relating to different parts of different characters and on so many levels.
