Note: MAJOR SPOILERS for 13 Reasons Why below!
Long before 13 Reasons Why was a hit Netflix show, the moving account of the life and death of Hannah Baker originated in Jay Asher's bestselling 2007 young adult novel of the same name. Both versions of the story are addicting, brutally honest depictions of teen suicide, depression, and grief, but showrunner Brian Yorkey decided to make a few huge changes when it came time to adapt it for TV. From simple things — like how long it takes Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) to get through the tapes — to major differences — like the way Hannah (Katherine Langford) chooses to end her life — read on to see how Asher's book differs from the adaptation.
