This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper

3.0

Mildly (unnecessarily?) raunchy (explicit?) at times but overall an enjoyable story, TIWILY follows a semi-decent guy along a path of infidelity, his father's death and extreme degrees of familial dysfunction. I was fairly disturbed by the lack of boundaries between the characters: privacy is non-existent, and insensitivity and violence are mainstay, with coping mechanisms few and far between, but I can disturb easily. I think the truly redeeming value of this book is Tropper's writing, which seamlessly unites a surprising amount of humor with poignancy and realism.
