Two teenagers, strangers to each other, have decided to jump from the same bridge at the same time.
Aaron and Tillie don't know each other, but they are both feeling suicidal, and arrive at the George Washington Bridge at the same time, intending to jump. Aaron is a gay misfit struggling with depression and loneliness. Tillie isn't sure what her problem is -- only that she will never be good enough.
On the bridge, there are four things that could happen:
Aaron jumps and Tillie doesn't.
Tillie jumps and Aaron doesn't.
They both jump.
Neither of them jumps.

Quote from the book:
“He pantomimes his brain exploding and people laugh and he laughs, too, because it is, actually really funny to him. It's a lot of things. It's sad as fuck. But also it's funny, the way he had this mask on all the time.”
"You don't really let anyone in. You're a good singer and actor and all that, but it's like no one really knows what makes you tick or anything."
"Here, here's my pain, see the pain I'm in."
