Format:Paperback
I have read Tropper's "Bush Falls", "How to Talk to a Widower" and "Everything Changes" and thoroughly enjoyed them so I thought I'd give this a try. Like the other books it has a healthy dose of humour and the story moves along quite quickly. It is about a group of five friends (who met a University) as they reach their 30th birthdays, each of them trying to face their own personal demons.
I felt that the plot was a little weak and at times contrived. The characters were rather clichéd and therefore predictable and overall I would say the story was a bit corny. All the loose ends are very neatly tied up by the end of the book which seemed to me just too trite. However because of the style of writing and the amusing way the plot unfolds I never wanted to put it down and I did enjoy this book. I felt it was the weakest of the Tropper books I have read.
When I finished each of the other Tropper novels I felt sorry that the book had finished, however, with this one I don't really think I would have missed out had I not read it. I would suggest reading one of the other Tropper books I mentioned but perhaps give this one a miss unless you want a light read with predictable story.

This is Jonathan Tropper's debut book and is as good as all the others that followed. He tells the story of a group of friends who met at university and are now ten years later experiencing the ups and downs that life has to offer . As with all his novels he manages to inject humour as well as very touching moments. Wonderful, highly recommend.
Format:Paperback
Having read all of the Jonathan Tropper books, i found this thoroughly enjoyable and witty, and really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend that if you enjoy one of his books, you'll love them all!

My favourite author
This is another fantastic read from Jonathan Tropper. Not quite as enjoyable as Everything Changes but still well worth purchasing.

Plan B
Almost a 5 star book, just losing out because it doesn't quite have the level of humour of Jonathan Tropper's other books. Read more

This is a brilliant book. The plot is extremly good and you really begin to feel the characters by the end of the novel. Read more
