An unforgettable coming of age novel for fans of 13 Reasons Why,
It’s Kind of a Funny Story, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Fifteen-year-old Jeff wakes up on New Year’s Day to find himself
in the hospital—specifically, in the psychiatric ward. Despite
the bandages on his wrists, he’s positive this is all some huge
mistake. Jeff is perfectly fine, perfectly normal; not like the
other kids in the hospital with him. But over the course of the
next forty-five days, Jeff begins to understand why he ended up
here—and realizes he has more in common with the other kids than
he thought. “With a sprinkling of dark humor and a full measure
of humanness, Suicide Notes is quirky, surprising, and a riveting
read.” —Ellen Hopkins, author of The You I’ve Never
Known and Love Lies Beneath “Like the very best teen novels,
Suicide Notes is both classic and edgy, timeless and
provocative.” —Brent Hartinger, author of Geography Club
“Makes a powerful emotional impact.” —Publishers Weekly
(starred review) “Jeff’s wit and self-discovery are refreshing,
poignant, and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny.” —School Library
Journal
This much-anticipated sequel to the acclaimed fan-favorite novel
Suicide Notes is a funny, touching look at what happens when you
give up trying to be someone people want you to be and become
exactly who you are. Jeff spent forty-five days in the psych ward
of a hospital after a suicide attempt. Now that he’s home and has
accepted that he’s gay, he’s ready to reenter his life feeling
stronger and more comfortable being his true self than ever before.
But it’s hard to come back to an old life when you have a new
perspective on it. Returning to school is complicated, and his
mother’s anxiety isn’t helping. Jeff will also have to figure
out how to reconnect with his best friend, Allie, whose boyfriend
he kissed before he went to the hospital. To make things even more
complicated, a fellow patient from the ward suddenly appears at
school, which brings up all kinds of mixed emotions for Jeff.
Luckily, he’s got new friends from a local community center for
queer youths to help him through it all. And some may turn out to
be more than just friends… *** "Generous, wry, and big-hearted. A
touching and riotous journey through the legacies of pain and the
wonders of connection." —Eliot Schrefer, two-time National Book
Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author "Michael
Thomas Ford put me through it with this stunning sequel. A
touching, funny, and thoughtful exploration of how we move on from
our toughest choices and embrace what makes us unique, even if
we're imperfect."—Jason June, New York Times bestselling author
of Out of the Blue “In Every Star That Falls, Ford examines with
heart and compassion not just what it is to be queer, but the ways
in which queerness changes relationships and frees us.” —LC
Rosen, author of Jack of Hearts and Camp “Every Star That Falls
is an extraordinarily fun and wild ride that will make you laugh
and cry on numerous occasions. There is no way to tell what happens
next but each chapter comes with a wonderful surprise that keeps
you hooked into the moment. The book brings you a lot of
things—complex characters, intricate relationships and a
beautiful message for the new generation. It’s the kind of story
that genuinely reflects the growing complexity of life for young
people.” —Vincent Tirado, author of the Pura Belpre
Award–winning Burn Down, Rise Up
"I'm pretty sure I'm the only guy in my school who can replace a
faulty kick-down switch and also create the perfect smoky eye." The
Weyward family has been haunted by a curse for generations-if a
Weyward falls in love before their seventeenth birthday, the person
they love dies. Sam doesn't plan to fall for anyone in the weeks
before his birthday. He'll spend his time working at the
Eezy-Freeze with his dad; cooking up some midsummer magic with his
grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother (the
Grands); and experimenting with drag with the help of the queens at
the Shangri-La, the local gay club. But when a new guy comes to
town, Sam finds himself in trouble when they strike up a friendship
that might be way more than that. As Sam's birthday approaches and
he still hasn't quite fallen in love, the curse seems to get more
powerful and less specific about who it targets. A mysterious girl
Sam talks to on the phone late at night and a woman he's only seen
in a dream might have the answers he's been looking for-but time is
running out to save the people he cares about.
