One Last Thing Before I Go by Jonathan Tropper

5.0

---

This book revisits themes similar to Tropper’s other books: The conflicts of having some degree of fame but life not working out at all as planned. It took me a little longer to get into this book than some of his other books I read because he uses the third person point of view, but ultimately his decision to write it that way is a good one. There is the mix of funny and sad that I really like, plus the occasional philosophical line where I nod my head and think, “yes, good point, that’s so true.” For example: “The thing about living alone is that it gives you a lot of time to think. You don’t necessarily reach any conclusions because wisdom is largely a function of intelligence and self-awareness, not time on your hands. But you do become very good at thinking yourself into endless loops of desperation in half the time.”
