This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper
Judd Foxman’s father has just died, and his last wish is for his family to sit shiva for 7 days. Since they are all somewhat crazy characters, this becomes quite interesting. Most of the book focuses on Judd and the problems he is having with his marriage. His wife has left him for his no-good boss.
I loved this book because it was really interesting to see vulnerability and loss from a man’s point of view. You really get to know and love all the characters and their very real foibles.
I see that Jonathan Tropper has written quite a few other books
