So Clay leaves Rosie's and finds his friend Tony waiting for him in the parking lot. Tony tells him that he is the one who has the second set of tapes, the ones that will be released to the public if Clay's tapes aren't passed on according to Hannah's wishes. Clay is full of questions, but Tony refuses to answer anything until Clay listens to the next recording.

The ninth tape is about Clay and assures him that he had nothing to do with Hannah's suicide. He was actually really good to Hannah; he even confessed his feelings to her and they kissed! She told him that he was just on the list to know why she killed herself (how nice of her!) 

Next was Justin Foley, from the first tape. This time, Justin allowed Bryce Walker to have sex with Jessica while she was drunk. (what has that to do with her suicide!?)

At this point, Tony explains that on the day of Hannah's death, he found the tapes waiting for him when he got home from school. He listened to them and when he realized what Hannah was up to, he called her parents to warn them, but he was too late. Since then, he's been following the people on the list making sure they follow Hannah's instructions.

The next is after a party. Jenny Kurtz offered Hannah a ride home, but knocked down a stop sign with her car. Jenny refused to report the accident, and shortly after, there was a fatal accident at the stop sign. (This has too nothing to do with her has it?) 

The next: One night, Bryce Walker started to touch Hannah in a hot-tub and Hannah let Bryce, whom she despised, have sex with her. (Why???)

 Finally: Mr. Porter, Hannah's guidance counselor, didn't take her seriously when she said she was suicidal, and he let her leave his office without going after her. (such a big mistake I agree ...)

So I finished the book and although it has an open end I think Clay committed suicide afterwards because he couldn't stand the information he got. whatever. not my favourite subject.

Did I ever mention that you have to follow a map if you are listening to those tapes? No? So now I told you anyway.

After getting matched up with Hannah through a Valentine's Day survey, Marcus tried to make a move on her in a booth at Rosie's Diner, after he finally managed to come. She had to push him out of the booth and onto the floor to get him to stop. 

Still listening, Clay heads toward Rosie's  on his way he sees the Crestmont Theater, where he and Hannah worked the previous summer. He got the job to be closer to her, but he always let the rumors about her stand in the way of telling her how he felt. So he was afraid of her.

When Hannah ignored Zach Dempsey's attempts to comfort her after the incident with Marcus, Zach stole the notes of encouragement left for Hannah by classmates in her Peer Communications class. (I just don't get it, why is this a reason to kill yourself!?)

The next is when Hannah met Ryan Shaver in a poetry class and really trusted him; that is, until he stole a very personal poem of Hannah's and published it, but nobody knew that it was Hannah's and they actually worked on this very poem in her English class, so I can't see where that makes her uncomfortable.

Still don't see a reason to kill yourself ....

heej there I am back again!

I read the book all at once so here's the next summary:

The third reason why Hannah committed suicide was Jessica Davis, who was upset because of this hot or not list and hit her so hard on the head that Hannah got a scar. The next was Tyler Down who was a Peeping Tom and took pictures of Hannah through her window. But Courtney Crimson and Hannah managed to catch him, which leads us to the next reason: Courtney Crimson, who brought up the rumor that Hannah has sex toys in her bedroom.


still I don't really see why those are reasons to kill yourself, but I never was in such a situation....
