The Bridge

Committing suicide shouldn't be the basis for a meet-cute, so I had my reservations about this novella. But the author does an admirable job of realistically portraying two people who are in great pain yet find glimmers of hope in each other. Love doesn't cure all, but it does provide them with a reason to keep trudging through day to day. Packs a surprising emotional punch into a few pages, along with a loving tribute to NYC. Definitely made me want to read more by the same author.
