Liberty high seemed like any old high school. Cliques like jocks, cheerleaders, preppies, and band geeks all coexisted harmoniously in one building. When Alex first moved schools, he'd made friends with Jessica Davis and Hannah Baker. And everyone knows that when there's one male in a group of three, there's bound to be some sort of love triangle. Right? It started off that way, but when they all went their separate ways, things started to crumble. And it wasn't love that tore Hannah Baker's soul from her body; it was pure hatred.
Although Hannah had a story to tell, this story is not hers. In fact, this is the story of Alex Standall and Justin Foley. Band geek and jock. Blond and brunet. Why, you might ask? Well why not? After all, there's 13 sides to every story. And in this case, a baker's dozen just doesn't cut it.
