This was good ... definitely one I'd only recommend to certain people; plenty of proFanity (x128) and sex, trigger for suicide, death and some other issues. I went with the audio edition, full cast, not listed as graphic audio, but it was. I loved The Illuminae Files (sci-fi) and this was slightly similar in presentation, with journal entries, emails, texts, voicemails and transcripts. The text copy wasn't quite as unique as Illuminae (you HAVE to check out the print copy too, even though the audio is awesome) some phone screen shots, different text for the various formats). I'd absolutely recommend the audio for this book.  12 different narrators. I wish they did a "credit" section at the end ... Michael Crouch - voiced _______. Sometimes I don't know who was who. North Woods had a credit section for their narrators and it was much appreciated! "Hi I'm Audio Recorder" must have been one of the women (as there are 12 characters, 12 narrators ... but there are actually more than 12 voices, "Audio Recorder" being one of them).

One thing about this book ... THERE ARE NO CHAPTERS! I actually didn't really notice in the audio, I just kept listening. I always try to grab the Kindle copy as well though, and opening up as I finished up ... no chapters! I guess I'm glad I didn't need to check the kindle copy during my listen, I'm not sure how I would have found my spot between formats.  Anyone who "I'll just finish up this chapter" would have an issue with this book *Ü* There are little "headers" as the "journals" or other presentations are given (AdminMark, Karen_Ortiz, LIsa, VaughnR, IamTheo, TylerW1998, Sunny Shanelle, Username:Zeke, PeterWilliamRouth).

It's all about suicide. There's an introduction, setting this up like a real world situation, saying this text file (the journal entries, texts, emails, etc ... basically this book) was uploaded to the web. It was then taken down by the Utah State Attorney General (connection note, I live in Utah, my MIL used to work for the AG). It says "this volume is not intended to condone or condemn the actions described herein, but rather to encourage debate and discussion in the public sphere."  It would be interesting if suicide wasn't so taboo ... in subject or life.  Here, there are several people (almost a dozen) who, for various reasons, are ready to end their lives. 

... as much for me as for anything else ...
Mark: late 20s, failed author, he sets up this trip
Dylan: Mark's friend ... just the driver (not participating)
Karen: young woman with chronic pain
Tyler: young man, coder, suffering from Eisenmenger syndrome
Lisa: bi-polar, party-loving new-hippie, dysfunctional relationship with father/step-mother
Shanelle: young woman, black, over-weight and fat-shamed/bullied in school
Vaughn: the only older individual (66 years), wife recently died
Zeke: an addict, traveling with his cat/Sailor (also terminal)
Theo: fellow writer/poet, non-binary and bullied because of it
Peter: intellectual, rational, clinical nihilist
Jim and Theresa: young mixed race couple, "Romeo and Juliet" family set-up 

At the end, not included in the audio, were some discussion questions/reading group guides ... I found these to be thought provoking. Glad they were included and that I had the Kindle copy to see them.
