Selena Gomez will star in Universal's big screen adaptation of Jay Asher's novel 13 Reasons Why, reports Deadline.

The story centres around seven cassette tapes made by high-schooler Hanna Baker (Gomez) prior to her suicide. Hanna sends the recordings to a classmate who had a crush on her with instructions to pass them on to the 13 people who played a part in her death.

Jennifer O'Kieffe has been hired to pen the script for producers Eric Newman, Marc Abraham and Mandy Teefey.

Gomez plays Alex Russo in the Disney TV series Wizards Of Waverly Place and has a role in upcoming comedy Monte Carlo opposite Leighton Meester and Cory Monteith.
