Playlist for the Dead by Michelle Falkoff

5.0


TW: suicide, grief, outting, homophobia, bullying

All of my favorite things - music, grief, mystery, geeky characters and a revenge plot.

I loved how all of the chapters were titled a song from Hayden's playlist and if you know the song, (usually Sam will explain it for you, though) you'll understand what is going to happen in that chapter or why it happened. I love books with grief and music, so it was inevitable that I would enjoy this book. It's like 13 Reasons Why (but better) and gave me We Are the Ants vibes because the main character has hallucinations that make you believe what's going on is real. I don't have full thoughts on this but I just had a really fun time reading it and I was so invested in Sam and Hayden's story.
