Description
An unforgettable coming of age novel for fans of 13 Reasons Why, It's Kind of a Funny Story, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Don't miss the sequel, Every Star That Falls-available now!
Fifteen-year-old Jeff wakes up on New Year's Day to find himself in the hospital-specifically, in the psychiatric ward.
Despite the bandages on his wrists, he's positive this is all some huge mistake. Jeff is perfectly fine, perfectly normal; not like the other kids in the hospital with him.
But over the course of the next forty-five days, Jeff begins to understand why he ended up here-and realizes he has more in common with the other kids than he thought.
"With a sprinkling of dark humor and a full measure of humanness, Suicide Notes is quirky, surprising, and a riveting read." -Ellen Hopkins, author of The You I've Never Known and Love Lies Beneath
"Like the very best teen novels, Suicide Notes is both classic and edgy, timeless and provocative." -Brent Hartinger, author of Geography Club
"Makes a powerful emotional impact." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Jeff's wit and self-discovery are refreshing, poignant, and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny." -School Library Journal
