25 books10.6k followersJay Asher was born in Arcadia, California on September 30, 1975. He grew up in a family that encouraged all of his interests, from playing the guitar to his writing. He attended Cuesta College right after graduating from high school. It was here where he wrote his first two children’s books for a class called Children’s Literature Appreciation. At this point in his life, he had decided he wanted to become an elementary school teacher. He then transferred to California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo where he left his senior year in order to pursue his career as a serious writer. Throughout his life he worked in various establishments, including as a salesman in a shoe store and in libraries and bookstores. Many of his work experiences had an impact on some aspect of his writing.
He has published only one book to date, Thirteen Reasons Why, which was published in October 2007. He is currently working on his second Young Adult novel, and has written several picture books and screenplays. Thirteen Reasons Why has won several awards and has received five stars from Teen Book Review. It also has received high reviews from fellow authors such as Ellen Hopkins, Chris Crutcher, and Gordon Kormon.

Shelved as 'to-never-read'
May 5, 2021| Reader Fox Blog |
Yeah...no. I don't know exactly what this book is and what it's about--oddly, it has no blurb on this page?--but I know who the author is and that makes it an instant never read for me. It kind of looks like this is supposed to be a memoir of sorts? I'm not entirely sure if that is the case, but it's definitely the vibe I get from it. The cover is kind of terrible, I have to admit.
But yeah. Jay Asher is someone whose books I can't, in good conscience, read.

This man, Jay Asher, sexually abuses women serially and I will never support his work.
