Playlist for the Dead by Michelle Falkoff

4.0

3.5 stars

Hayden was never popular. He was a geek, he had one friend, and his parents were never supportive of him. Then there was an incident at a party and he decided to commit suicide...

The next morning Hayden's best friend Sam finds his dead body and a playlist of songs dedicated to him. As Sam tries to understand the life his best friend lived he must also reflect on the person he has become.

I liked this book although there were slow moments in the book. I liked Sam's character and the secrets that unfolded near the end. I felt bad for Hayden however, I didn't think that he should have killed himself after the incident. Suicide is never the answer --- it isn't an escape. There are people who will help you if you try to reach out to them. God would never let you face your troubles alone.

Anyway, I would recommend this book to anyone willing to give it a try.
