"Aaron and Tillie don't know each other, but they are both suicidal, arriving at the George Washington Bridge at the same time, intending to jump. Aaron is a gay misfit struggling with depression and loneliness. Tillie isn't sure what her problem is -- only that she will never be good enough. On the bridge, 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. This astonishing and insightful novel from Bill Konigsberg, which plays the story all four ways, explores with complete honesty what it feels like to want to die . . . and what it takes to live."--, Provided by publisher
