Aaron and Tillie don't know each other, but they are both feeling suicidal and arrive at the George Washington Bridge simultaneously, intending to jump. Aaron is a gay misfit struggling with depression and loneliness, and Tillie isn't sure what her problem is -- only that she will never be good enough. On the bridge, four things 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 in this astonishing and insightful novel from Bill Konigsberg.
