"A Long Way Down" is absurd. It's about four people trying to kill themselves on New Year's Eve on top of the same building. Despite its premise it is unexpectedly comedic and life-affirming. Nick Hornby did a phenomenal job breathing life into each character due to his writing, since the story is told through the four protagonists perspective.

This book stumbled into my life rather randomly and I had my difficulties getting into it, but in the end I enjoyed it very, very much.
