The Bridge by Bill Konigsberg
4.0
CW ... Suicide.
This is a good read and deals really well with the mental health of teens and the affects of suicide on their families.
Written with such realism and empathy Konigsberg deals with the tough topic of suicide fantastically. We get different versions of the same story ... our 2 main characters dealing with their own crap meet on a bridge with the intention of ending their lives. In each scenario one, both or neither of them jump giving us a different take on the same story.
This is a must read, one of my favourites this year and suitable for about 14+ age. Available in Irish libraries.
