This Is Where I Leave You
by Jonathan Tropper
I found this book at times striking, amusing and/or ironically empowering. Biographically, the main character and I don't have too much in common, and yet I connected with him. The author has a gift for forcing readers to empathize with characters who to the outside world look like assholes. My only criticism was the recurring notes of misogyny. They rang true for what the character was going through, but as a woman, it felt a little toxic, reading that. I hope I haven't internalized too much Judd's perpetual sizing up of the women who orbit around him.
