For fans of David Nicholls, a brilliantly funny and touching new novel from the bestselling author of HOW TO TALK TO A WIDOWER, selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club. Meet Silver. Forty-four, divorced and living alone. His once celebrated music career is now a faded memory and his ex-wife is about to marry another man. The only good thing in Silver's life is his Princeton-bound teenage daughter, Casey - and she would probably say the exact opposite about him. So in Silver's opinion, things could be going better ... a lot better. Then Casey drops a bombshell: she's pregnant. Yes, it was her first time, and, no, she hasn't told her mom. Silver knows things have got to change, and when he discovers he has a fatal heart condition that means he could drop dead at any minute, he decides it's time to make a list: 1. Be a better father 2. Be a better man 3. Fall in love 4. Die But the question is, can Silver rebuild his life, regain the respect of his family, and be there for Casey when she needs him most, or has he left it all too late?

When Doug married Hailey - beautiful, smart and ten years older - he left his carefree Manhattan life to live in the suburbs with Hailey and her teenage son, Russ. Three years later, at 29, Doug has been a widower for twelve months and just wants to drown himself in self-pity and Jack Daniels. But his family has other ideas... Russ is furious with Doug for not adopting him, and has fallen in with a bad crowd. Claire, Doug's irrepressible, pregnant twin sister, has left her husband and, uninvited, moved in with Doug. And their sister Debbie is determined to have the perfect wedding, at any cost. Soon, Doug finds himself trying to forge a relationship with Russ, reconnect with his own eccentric family, and reluctantly edges back into the complicated world of dating...

Funny, moving, powerful and poignant, THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU is the fabulous follow-up to HOW TO TALK TO A WIDOWER and Jonathan Tropper at his best.
Right after high school, Joe Goffman left sleepy Bush Falls,
Conneticut and never looked back. Then he wrote a novel savaging
everything in town, a novel that became a national bestseller and a
huge hit movie. Fifteen years later, Joe is struggling to avoid the
sophomore slump with his next novel when he gets a call: his
father's had a stroke, so it's back to Bush Falls for the town's
most famous pariah. His brother avoids him, his former classmates
beat him up, and the members of the book club just hurl their
copies of Bush Falls at his house. But with the help of some old
friends, Joe discovers that coming home isn't all bad--and that
maybe the best things in life are second chances. "From the Hardcover edition.
Turning thirty was never supposed to be like this. Ten years ago,
Ben, Lindsey, Chuck, Alison, and Jack graduated from New York
University and went out into the world, fresh-faced and full of
dreams for the future. But now Ben's getting a divorce; Lindsey's
unemployed; Alison and Chuck seem stuck in ruts of their own
making; and Jack is getting more publicity for his cocaine
addiction than his multimillion-dollar Hollywood successes.
A moving, funny novel of romance and horrible mistakes... from the bestselling author of ONE LAST THING BEFORE I GO. To all appearances, Zachary King is a man with luck on his side. A steady, well-paying job, a rent-free Manhattan apartment, and Hope, his stunning, blue-blooded fiancee: smart, sexy, and completely out of his league. But as the wedding day looms, Zack finds himself haunted by the memory of his best friend, Rael, killed in a car wreck two years earlier - and by his increasingly complicated feelings for Tamara, the beautiful widow Rael left behind. Then Norm - Zack's freewheeling, Viagra-popping father - resurfaces after a twenty-year absence, looking to make amends. Norm's overbearing, often outrageous efforts to re-establish ties with his sons infuriate Zack, and yet, despite twenty years of bad blood, he finds something compelling in his father's maniacal determination to transform his own life. Inspired by Norm, Zack boldly attempts to make some changes of his own, and the results are instantly calamitous. Soon fists are flying, his love life is a shambles, and his once carefully structured existence is spinning hopelessly out of control.
