#33: This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper
Was this an easy, entertaining two day read? Yes. Does it have indie-ish movie written all over it? Of course. Did it change my life in a way that I will cherish forever and for always? Not really. But that first question is the most important.
These days entertainment is all I want, a laugh thrown together with a pinch of sentiment and maybe a handful of neuroses just for kicks. This Is Where I Leave You had a nice combination of the above and I saved the last bit of it to read at the diner this morning. Yeah, it’s that kind of book. There are fighting family members, awkward relationships, and plenty of sitting shiva. I found the whole thing to be sort of endearing.
I guess it’s also true that the story is wholly deserving of the great cover seen here. Just in case you were interested, the colors are an exact match to my google calendar. Well played, Mr. Tropper. Way to really reel me in.
Holy cannoli, it’s going to be a movie? Yes.
To read. :)
