All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner

3.0

I was extremely disappointed with this book. A lot of what went on was not only completely unrealistic, but could never happen. Pills are much more regulated than it is made out to be in the book. For example, doctors would NEVER be allowed to just call in a prescription for a pain killer. They need to 1) see the patient in person and 2) write a handwritten script that is physically dropped off at the pharmacy. Also, doctor shopping would not me a legitimate way to get around the issue of needing more pills.

The book was an okay read, but the characters were a little flat, and it left SO MANY questions unanswered at the end of the book. What was the change in her daughter that took place? Did her and her husband ever move back in together? It never really talked about why the decision was made for them to live separately.
