Suicide Notes

You may think you're fine. But you're not. If you don't want to talk about it right now, that's your decision. You have forty-three more days to talk about it.

Fifteen-year-old Jeff wakes up on New Year's Day and finds himself in the hospital. Make that psychiatric ward. Clearly there's been a huge mistake - aside from the bandages on his wrists, there's no reason why Jeff should be here. He's perfectly fine. He doesn't need to spend an hour every day talking to a therapist or acting out skits about feelings with the other teens on the ward. But a funny thing happens as Jeff's forty-five-day sentence drags on - he realizes he's not as different from his fellow patients as he'd first thought. . . .

Compelling, witty, and refreshingly real. Suicide Notes is a darkly comic novel that examines that fuzzy line between "normal" and the rest of us.
