A Long Way Down 1

The beginning of this book was the stories behind each person wanting to jump. Martin had cheated on his wife many times but was caught with a 15 year old girl. Jess was upset that Chas left her after a one night stand. JJ's band had broken up and his girlfriend had dumped him. Maureen is a single mother with a disabled son, and although she cares for her son so much and is very religious, she has gone into depression and wants to get rid of her problems. It was kind of confusing and hard to follow because it jumped from character to character, but it was cool to see how they all coincidentally met there and decided not to jump.
