A review by allibruns
All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner

1.0

For the first 50 pages of this I wanted to DNF, after that I got into the story and then for the last 150 pages I wanted to throw this book against the wall. This book had potential, espically when delving into modern motherhood and how ex career women deal with the guilt of feeling unhappy when they get what they had always wanted. I wished thar Weiner had spent more time examing how women can feel isolated, empty, lonely, and lost in the monotony of motherhood while attempting to protray a perfect image. I understand that Weiner was trying to show how addiction can happen to the upper middle class but to me it came off very "white privileged \first world problems". I was left not feeling any connection to Allison or her addiction.
