The Bridge By Bill Konigsberg
The Bridge is about two teenagers, each with their own problems, preparing to jump off the Washington Bridge. There’s Aaron, a gay musician who just wants people to listen to his music, and be noticed. And then there’s Tillie, who feels her father hates her for some reason as he will not speak to her, and is jealous of her little sister, who is great at everything, she was also ghosted by her boyfriend, Arnim. The story goes through the scenarios of what would have happened if Aaron jumped and Tillie didn’t, if Tille jumped and Aaron didn’t, if they both jumped, or if neither of them jumped. It shows each of their lives and how they changed after this moment, and formed an unlikely friendship between the two of them.
