Publisher's summary

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

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Extremely problematic

GRADE: F-

After attempting suicide, Jeff is hospitalized for 45 days.

Top 3 reasons not to read this book,

3) While reading SUICIDE NOTES, I felt as if Michael Thomas Ford must have said to himself, "I think this is how a Sarcastic Teenage Boy sounds" because Jeff's voice sounds nothing like any teenager I've known. Not only does the MC sound like a Character instead of a person, he doesn't come across as depressed.

2) These days, psych hospitalizations for suicide attempts are lucky to get a week, 45 days would be wonderful, but insurances only pay for basic stabilization. Only the very wealthy could afford a 28 day treatment program.

1) What would have been considered rape for a girl is NOT a sexual encounter for a boy. It's RAPE.
