13: Side B

Hannah Baker left behind thirteen reasons.

Clay Jensen only expected to hear the names of people who destroyed her.

He didn't expect to hear Caroline Foley.

Justin's quiet younger sister.
The girl who keeps her sleeves pulled down and her head lower.
The girl who looks like she's been surviving something long before Liberty High ever whispered Hannah's name.

Clay knows what it feels like to carry guilt. To replay moments that can't be undone. But when he learns Caroline was the last name on Hannah's tapes, anger becomes easier than understanding.

Because Hannah reached for her.

And Caroline let go.

But the truth is never that simple.

Behind closed doors, Caroline is fighting battles no one sees - a father who leaves bruises, a silence that protects more than it heals, and a past tangled dangerously close to the same darkness that swallowed Hannah.

Clay wants someone to blame.

Caroline is just trying to survive.

And sometimes, survival means choosing who you can save... and who you can't.
