YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE FINE,
BUT YOU'RE NOT. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW, THATS 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 the 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.
