Explanation Supposing Books Playlist for the Dead
Here’s what Sam knows: There was a party. There was a fight. The next morning, Sam’s best friend, Hayden, was dead. All he left Sam was a playlist of songs—and a note, saying that he took his own life. But what Sam doesn’t know is: Why?To figure out what happened, Sam has to rely on the playlist and his own memory. But the more he listens, the more he realizes that his memory isn’t as reliable as he thought. Especially when someone claiming to be Hayden starts sending him cryptic messages, and a series of violent attacks begins on the bullies who made Hayden’s life hell.
Sam knows he has to face up to what happened the night. But it’s only by taking out his earbuds and opening his eyes to the people around him—including an eccentric, unpredictable girl who’s got secrets, too—that Sam will finally be able to piece together his best friend’s story.
And maybe have a chance to change his own.

This book sucked me into it like a sand pit I finished it in only 2 days.Reading this because I took some Buzzfeed quiz of which particular new book that should be my next read..and turns out that this one is right up my alley (How many psychologist and from which top ranking university Buzzfeed is hiring is a mystery though).I am always a sucker for a story that use pop culture as a plot device, and this book, with each chapter introduced one song each that drive the narratives forward, are inThis was just an okay book for me. I don't have any big complaints. It's not bad, I just didn't fall in love with it.I connected with the main character, I enjoyed the different plot lines and the writing style. However, nothing really took me by surprise and this book did not leave a big impact on me.
Not recommended for everyone . If you are into depressed stuff like me and are into indie rock scene or love alternative music and like a book where you will have to deal with a person who is already dead and There is one person who has to suffer for that reason then this book is for you. Otherwise NO . Don't go for it. You will end up hating the author.

For a debut novel and for a very controversial theme, I thought the book isnt bad. I generally avoid books on suicide because more often than not, it ends up really depressing but although Playlist for the Dead tackles the same subject, it does so in a way that doesnt put so much weight on the readers emotions. Unlike books on suicide that linger on the whys of the persons decision to end his/her life, this book focuses on the loved ones, the ones who cant help blame themselves for the death, on
This was a very powerful contemporary that I really liked and it took me on a rollercoaster of feelings.
You never really know someone until you listen3.5 stars~~~A novel that is steady-paced and never tries too hard to pull on your heartstrings. While I didn't outright cry my eyes out, I did feel for Sam and everyone around him... and in turns angry for how certain people treated Hayden. This book unveils the layers/secrets bit by bit, letting you get to know everyone involved and how some things aren't what they seemed. A couple times my perceptions of a character were flipped from what it was
There were definitely things I enjoyed about this book -- I always love a reading a boy POV and this one was charming though I thought Sam's voice sounded more middle grade than high schooler. At times I felt there was an awful lot going on - the aftermath of the suicide, the playlist, the mystery attacks, the story of Astrid, the romance, the magical realism... but it definitely had its good moments.Recommended for those who enjoy a male POV, and issue books with magical realism.
