The Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper

4.0

I really liked it! Its about a mid-30′s guy who wrote a “fiction” book about the town he grew up in. His senior year of high school something crazy happened with him and his 2 friends and girlfriend, and he had to leave town….17 years later, he’s a successful authors whose book was made into a successful movie. He has no friends, minimal contact with his family, until he has to go back to that town for a family emergency. I liked the characters, especially totally fallible Joe, was moved by some of the scenes and just liked the story over all. Definitely recommend it.

I do wonder if this author’s other books are as enjoyable. Then again, I have always liked reading from a male’s perspective.
