6. One winner will get to flip through early notes and ideas of how Jay wanted the story to be.

Plus, that lucky person will enjoy an introduction from the author himself.

7. The anniversary edition contains the story’s original ending where Hannah Baker lives.

Jay told Penguin Teen that the original ending for the book was entirely different.

"Since the book came out, readers have asked if I ever considered — somehow
— keeping Hannah alive at the end of the novel. I get a great reaction when I tell them that’s precisely how it originally ended. Their jaws drop!" he revealed.

"Then I explain the particulars of how it unfolded, and why it needed to change. So, since I’d already been talking about it, it felt appropriate to finally share that chapter for the 10th anniversary edition."

8. The novel sold over 3 million copies.

You can make it 3,000,001-ish!

9. It’s a #1 New York Times and International Bestseller.

Obviously.

11. Readers can’t help but share with the world how much this book has changed their lives.

The 13 Reasons Why website is sprawling with reader reactions, like this one from Dianna.

She said, “When a book actually affects the way you breathe, you know it is powerful. When a book changes the way you look at life, you know it is nothing short of spectacular. Thirteen Reasons Why is that book."

12. Another reader named Maya Dom couldn’t help but hold this book responsible for helping millions of teens out there going through a crisis.

“It was drastically life-changing, especially since I can relate to Hannah’s emotions. I will always love this book. It teaches the reader to be careful about what they do and how they act," she said.
