Summary
A moving, poignant, compelling YA debut as a 15-year-old boy struggles to understand his best friend's suicide through the list of songs he leaves behind.
Here's what Sam knows: There was a party. There was a fight. The next morning his best friend, Hayden, was dead. And all he left Sam was a playlist of songs and a suicide note: "For Sam--listen, and you'll understand."
As he listens to song after song, Sam tries to face up to what happened the night Hayden killed himself. But it's only by taking out his earbuds and opening his eyes to the people around him that he will finally be able to piece together his best friend's story. And maybe have a chance to change his own.
Part mystery, part love story, and part coming-of-age tale in the vein of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Playlist for the Dead is an honest and gut-wrenching first novel about loss, rage, what it feels like to outgrow a friendship that's always defined you--and the struggle to redefine yourself.

A good listen overall
The performance by the narrator was pretty good and made the book overall enjoyable to listen to and would recommend. The story itself was ok, I really liked the concept of the playlist but felt the story got a bit predictable towards the end so some revelations felt less impactful.
