Playlist for the Dead
by Michelle Falkoff
When his best friend, Hayden, dies, Sam is left with a playlist and the instructions "Listen and you'll understand.". He is angry at Hayden for killing himself, and even angrier at himself for not preventing it and not seeing it coming. So he goes around, listening to the playlist on repeat.
PLAYLIST FOR THE DEAD IS NOT TRIGGERING. NOT TRIGGERING. At least it wasn't for me. For me it was reallt quite the opposite. It showed me a lot of the result suicide has on the people you leave behind - How they blame themselves for not being able to prevent it. And this book really pictures it well. Sure, there were times where I understood certain plot points were coming before they happened, but in my opinion, that's how it is with every good mystery. Right?
So five stars from me, absolutely the best YA book i've read this year.
