The Bridge by Bill Konigsberg

5.0

---

Not sure that I have enough or the right words to properly express how grateful I am to Bill Konigsberg for writing this book out on sept 1st. Two teens on the Hudson Bridge ready to jump and end their life, four stories follow after four different decisions are made. Suicide carries such an incredible stigma and we know that not talking about it makes it worse, not better. This book shows the aftermath of the decisions to end one’s life or not without preaching, and yet offers hope and insight in a powerful way. For middle school and up, this should be a book to discuss and share. #pernillerecommends
