A Long Way Down #3

The most important scene in the book is when JJ, Jess, Maureen, and Martin discuss a scientology article he read. It said that the crisis period last 90 days. They had already gone through 46 out of the 90. So they each decided they would make a pact and wait. This is the most important scene because it showed they thought there was a chance of life getting better. This is different from New Year's were they thought no matter what they did there circumstances wouldn't improve, and they had no other choice but to jump. The 90 days were also a time frame where they were able to mend their problems and lost relationships. Those three months for them were the difference between life and death.
