Overview
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. 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
