How to Talk to a Widower by Jonathan Tropper

4.0

Intelligent, funny, sad story of a young widower and his complicated family. There are a lot of wild situations that manage to not spill over into broad buffoonery. There is some very poignant writing about grief. The combination of these elements is successful, but the over-the-top aspects made it slightly difficult to take the emotional elements as seriously as I might have otherwise. It was a very enjoyable read, and I'll probably look up some of Mr. Tropper's other titles, but I doubt I'd reread this one.
