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.
