A New York Times bestseller book about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the bonds that bind—whether we like it or not—that is riotously humorous and profoundly real.
The Foxman family has not gathered as a whole in a long time since the death of Judd Foxman's father. But one notable person is missing: Jen, Judd's wife, whose affair with his radio-shock-jock employer has lately come to light. Judd grudgingly sits shiva and spends seven days and nights under the same roof with his chaotic family, while also lamenting the loss of his father and his marriage. The week swiftly spirals out of control as long-forgotten grudges come to light, secrets are disclosed, and long-forgotten emotions are reignited. The big reveal is then made by Jen: she is expecting a child.
"[Tropper is] a more genuine, perceptive version of Nick Hornby, that other master of male psyche... [He is] frequently heartbreaking, often hilarious."States Today
