"Sammi, this is a gap year. Things are meant to change. Embrace it! We left Tasmania looking for an adventure and that's what we've got. So what if we've had to pick up a few extras on the way" Ri shrugged. "Exactly Ri, we wanted an adventure, not for two guys following us where ever we went!" I sighed. "I guess it's just overwhelming that's all. You know, with the whole 'city of love' thing going on and everything that's just happened. I feel like I need to get out of here" I looked at my best friend who had a mischievous look in her eyes.

Ace used to be a regular busker with his guitar and top hat on the streets bordering a beach in England. To the naked eye, he was a happy eighteen year old student enjoying life the way it should be enjoyed. But there were secrets under the happy, musical side of Claire's boyfriend, and they can only be found in a diary. The diary he gave her after he committed suicide. Along with a key to his house, a flimsy notebook and a bunch of memories, Claire uncovers seventeen items to symbolize the meaning behind his death, whilst battling with depression, a concerned mother and old friends on the side. It seems like the plan all along; to write a diary on the seventeen reasons why, and to keep an item for each story. But the scrawny signatures and fluent hand writing are all it takes to realize none of it was ever intended. No, all the pain that came with the deaths, drugs, bullying and secrets in that diary was never intended. And to top it all off, there's apparently a new boy in school. He doesn't talk, wears all black, and sits at the only spare table alone at lunch.

This is the story of how they met and fell in love. Read to find out more.
