This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars This Is Where I Leave You follows Judd Foxman and his family as they sit shiva for seven days after Judd's father dies. The family dynamics of the Foxman family really resonated with me - so real and dysfunctional and heartbreaking and filled with humor that was dry as a bone. I was surprised at how well and realistically the female characters were developed, usually not the case with a male author. This is Tropper's most recent book and the first of his that I've read - I can't wait to read his earlier books. View all my reviews >>
