Playlist for the Dead by Michelle Falkoff
3.0
★★★☆☆
3.00 STARS
It was so sudden for me to read this book. I actually had no plan picking this up, it was just a second-quick decision after seeing an ebook of this from my workmate's files.
It was actually a quick and easy read. I got through it smoothly and it was something not most books can do. It was not the best depiction of suicide for me, though. And there was a lacking aspect, too, that I can't pinpoint. The part where each characters' situations got tangled into the very center of the story kind of threw me off. It felt, I don't know, forced? Forced to be tangled into one another just so it can create the very twist of the story. I don't even really know if my words were making any sense. It just made me feel like there should be something more to it.
Also, it made me wonder if the playlist was somehow relevant to the story? Because as for me, it was a bit off since I thought it would be a huge contribution to the story but I ended up thinking it was kind of not that necessary and the story can moved on pretty well without it.
Despite that, I was actually quite okay with this story. I liked and enjoyed it enough.
