Everything Changes by Jonathan Tropper
3.0
I'm not one for books about love triangles, which is the driving force behind this book. While I never quite felt comfortable with that aspect, the fact that this is also a book about a confluence of changes happens for the main character, it diverted my attention from it.
Zach is in love with his best friend's widow even though he's engaged.
He works as a middleman between big companies and suppliers, which gives an interesting insight into that work. It also reaffirms my distaste for such arrangements.
Zach's estranged father reappears and is such an over-the-top character.
Needless to say, all of these factors call for everything to change in his life. The characters are really well written and diverse enough to make the interplay seem natural. As is to be expected from a book featuring a love triangle it is at time sexually explicit. Being a bit puritanical, this often made me uncomfortable. The last part of the book, when Zach hits rock bottom, seem to come out of nowhere. The signs were there, but it's such a change in direction that it almost seems like a long epilogue. But Mr. Tropper's skill at crafty characters make it work.
It wasn't a bad read and I did enjoy it. However, I don't think I would have picked it up if it wasn't the book for my Guys Book Group. Which is the whole point of book group.
