Publisher's summary

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…

Amazing author, amazing reader!

Ford’s collection is a mix of humorous, dark, loving, and heart warming. His pieces are truly unique and the reader for these captures each emotion and character beautifully!

good narrator, awful story.

wish I could get. refund on this one but alas, Amazon will only let you refund so many woke propaganda books a year. the story follows a young man who's realized he's gay then proceeds to be indoctrinated by mentally ill individuals.
