We're jumping tomorrow

“We’re jumping tomorrow” is one of those highly beautifully impactful stories, that coincidentally appears in your life ones and then never leaves your soul again.

This book broke my heart - and put it back together piece by piece. Short, intense and honest.

We're jumping tomorrow tells the story of Nick and Mark, two mid-twenties who only give themselves one more week. One week to decide whether it's still worth going on. They share cigarettes, thoughts and the question of the meaning of life. The novella is told alternately from the perspectives of Nick, Mark and Janine. This brings closeness and depth. You feel as if you are sitting right next to them. The writing style is direct, but at the same time very empathetic. Without much embellishment, it gets to the heart of the matter and leaves a lasting impression. The characters seem honest, tangible and familiar. You empathise with them, even if you haven't experienced everything yourself. Although the book is very short, it is full of emotion. It's about mental health, despair, friendship - and what it means to be seen. I often had to think while reading, sometimes smile and sometimes just pause for a moment. 💭 Conclusion: We're jumping tomorrow is not a book for in between - it's a book for in the middle of things. For when you want to feel. It hurts - and it feels good. For anyone who likes quiet stories that get under your skin and stay there. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a clear recommendation to read - with the request to read the trigger warning first.
