Publisher's summary

Still reeling from the suicide of his best friend Tess, seventeen-year old Brendan struggles to overcome addiction and identity issues. Walking the ledge outside his Manhattan apartment has become its own sort of drug, as he stands night after night with his arms outstretched, ready to fly away.

Sarah can see him from her window, and begins journaling about a boy on a ledge. Paige and Nate, a young couple in another building, can see both teens from their fire escape.

None of them know the others are watching, but a strong desire for freedom resides in each of them, and as their lives begin to intertwine, that desire will be tested.

Three buildings. One city block. Three stories. One common thread.

Sharp, humorous, and deeply layered, this chronicle of a suicidal teen's survival explores the reality of addiction and other tough issues, but does so easily, through the use of multiple perspectives, intelligent dialogue and authentic characters. Equal parts romance, contemporary drama, and coming of age, this highly engaging and intensely beautiful novel challenges our cultural perceptions in the battle for balance.

I love how the characters come together

This book is raw… its real life. It’s so easy to judge others without knowing the whys.
The story line kept me wanting to know more. The narrator was not right for this book and I sometimes got lost but I love the book.

first of many

I was introduced to Lynda Meyers and was more than pleased. This is a story that has me thinking about so much in life. She has away of making you identify with characters that I wouldn't think I would. I want more. Unfortunately I am going to have to find time to branch out of my audio book bubble and buy her other books in paperback. I'm hooked.
