Product Description
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.

Format:Paperback
I completely loved How to Talk to a Widower so was very excited to get my hands on this one. Again, the Author deals with the death of a young person, the devestating effects it has on that person's circle & just how difficult grief can be. The author is brilliant at exploring and explaining the intricacies of family life and loyalty, no matter how undeserved. The ending surprised me but ultimately I loved how it turned out. Can easily imagine this one being turned into a film as well......

I enjoyed this novel far more than 'How To Talk To A Widower', there is a far better plot line and the characters are likeable and very funny.
The story revolves around Zach who has a potentially life-changing health scare that makes him realise that his apparantly very succesful and charmed life is not actually what he wants. There are some great characters throughout the book - Zach's father Norm especially made me laugh and cringe in equal measures.
Although the book is very funny, there is also a great story-line. Witty and honest - I really enjoyed this read.

I discovered Tropper through his book 'How to Talk to a Widower' which I loved. This book has much the same feel. Zack is a young man crippled by grief at the death of his best friend. His looming engagement party to the perfect young woman of his dreams proves to be a catalyst for his whole, carefully constructed life to start unravelling at the seams.
Tropper's strength is in his ability to write effortlessly the topography of the inside of a man's head. His characters are thoughtful and believable, and utterly engaging. His work reminds me of a more sentimental Anne Tyler.
He writes about the ordinary every day things but which are exploded and made strange and wonderful because they are filtered by the experiences of strong emotions like love, grief and anger.
A touching, funny and redemptive novel.
