All We Can Do Is Wait by Richard Lawson

5.0

This book is an astonishing layered look into the lives five teens whose paths are briefly woven together in a hospital waiting room following the collapse of a city bridge, an accident in which their loved ones may or may have died. Even before this fateful day, each person’s life was suspended in its own way—impeded by parents, friends, lovers, themselves, and undercurrents of grief. This is a story about biding your time and finding the courage to trudge forward through the pain, all the while hoping against hope that whatever lies ahead might be better.
