This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper
3.0
Didn't love it, didn't hate it, couldn't recommend it.
The pacing was great and the dialog sharp and sassy, but over-sexing a novel never results in my favorite writing. In fairness, between sexed and grotesque, he toed the line pretty well.
It felt like watching a movie that leaves you feeling neutral at the end. (I'd rather love it or hate than be thinking, "Well, I just saw that.") Between that and the abundance of sexual descriptions (however clever), it was just so-so for me.
Since I would have rather read something else, 2.5 stars.
