Like what i'm reading: the bridge by bill konigsberg -- important, powerful, essential teen fictionJanuary 24, 2021 at 10:51 PM The Bridge, by Bill Konigsberg, is the best YA novel I've read since Eleanor & Park in 2012. Unfortunately, I know that many readers won't go near this book, because of its subject matter: teen suicide. This would be a terrible missed opportunity.
