Recensione:

“An absorbing and sensitive read.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

“Debut author Falkoff lightens the substantial topics of grief, bullying, and suicide with Sam’s engaging investigation.” (ALA Booklist)

“Realistic and well-written...The strong characters, dialogue and the use of the playlist to structure the book make this a good pick for struggling readers.” (School Library Journal)

“Falkoff treats a difficult topic with delicacy and care.” (Publishers Weekly)

“A nice premise with some truly powerful moments.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“[A] debut novel that limns the shifting boundaries of teen friendship, loyalty and identity. Playlist takes the expected conventions of stories about teen grief and turns them inside out, keeping readers guessing until the final chapters.” (Austin American-Statesman)
