Description
"A powerful, honest, heart-tugging, nail-biting, so-real-it-reaches-into-your-bones
story about suicide and mental health
and the ways in which too many of us struggle alone. Except we're
not alone. Bill Konigsberg makes that beautifully, movingly clear.
Stunning." Jennifer Niven, bestselling author of All the
Bright Places
Aaron and Tillie don't know each other, but they are both
struggling with life. They arrive at a New York bridge
at the same time, intending to jump.
At that moment in time, there are four things that could happen:
Aaron jumps and Tillie doesn't.
Tillie jumps and Aaron doesn't.
They both jump.
Neither of them jumps.
Or maybe all four things happen...
A beautiful and honest story to break, and then mend,
the heart.
Heart-breaking, life-affirming and beautifully written, read-in-one-sitting,
perfectly pitched contemporary YA novel that sees
a tough subject handled with humour, compassion and unflinching
truth.
In the best tear-jerking tradition of John Green and Nicola Yoon.
Perfect for fans of The Fault In Our Stars and One
Day.
