Right after high school, Joe Goffman left sleepy Bush Falls, Connecticut and never looked back. Then he wrote a novel savaging everything in town, a novel that became a national bestseller and a huge hit movie. Fifteen years later, Joe is struggling to avoid the sophomore slump with his next novel when he gets a call: his father's had a stroke, so it's back to Bush Falls for the town's most famous pariah. His brother avoids him, his former classmates beat him up, and the members of the book club just hurl their copies of Bush Falls at his house. But with the help of some old friends, Joe discovers that coming home isn't all bad--and that maybe the best things in life are second chances.Fans of Nick Hornby and Jennifer Weiner will love this book, by turns howling funny, fiercely intelligent, and achingly poignant. As evidenced by The Book of Joe's success in both the foreign and movie markets, Jonathan Tropper has created a compelling, incredibly resonant story.

The heartwarming debut novel by the New York Times bestselling author of This is Where I Leave You and One Last Thing Before I Go. Turning thirty was never supposed to be like this. Ten years ago, Ben, Lindsey, Chuck, Alison, and Jack graduated from New York University and went out into the world, fresh-faced and full of dreams for the future. But now Ben's getting a divorce; Lindsey's unemployed; Alison and Chuck seem stuck in ruts of their own making; and Jack is getting more publicity for his cocaine addiction than his multimillion-dollar Hollywood successes. Suddenly, turning thirty-- past the age their parents were when they were born, older than every current star athlete or pop music sensation-- seems to be both more meaningful and less than they'd imagined ten years ago. Plan B, Jonathan Tropper's wonderful debut novel, is about more than friendship, love, celebrity, addiction, kidnapping, or even turning thirty-- it's a heartfelt comic riff on what it means to be an adult against your will, to be single when you thought you'd have a family, to discover you are not, in fact, immortal, and to learn that Star Wars is as good a life lesson today as it was when you were six years old.

Zachary King je miláček štěstěny. Má výborně placenou práci, skvělý byt na Manhattanu, za který nemusí platit, a jeho snoubenka Hope je jednou z těch žen, které většině mužů berou dech. Jak se ale přibližuje den svatby, Zachary se stále častěji přistihuje při myšlenkách na Tamaru, vdovu po svém nejlepším kamarádovi, který zahynul při autonehodě. A jako by toho ještě nebylo dost, po dvacetileté absenci se v Zacharyho životě znovu objeví jeho otec s neodbytnou potřebou napravit vše, co jako rodič zmeškal. Jeho dobře míněné a urputně pronášené rady přivádějí Zacharyho na pokraj šílenství, ale zároveň ho přivedou k poznání, že pokud ve svém životě něco zásadního nezmění, bude mít až do smrti pocit, že mu vše důležité proteklo mezi prsty. Stejně tak se ale může stát, že každá změna, ke které se těžce odhodlá, uvrhne jeho život do totálního chaosu…
