(Plan B) by Jonathan Tropper

The author would probably be surprised to know that this "senior citizen" liked his book about the frustration of turning 30!! Reviewers compared this book to an episode of Friends or Seinfeld. Well, I may be older than the characters in those shows and older than the characters in this book, but I still like them all. This is Tropper's first book, and although I liked This is Where I Leave You better, I still enjoyed Plan B. A close-knit group of college buddies kidnap one of their group to help him with his drug problem. The main characters exhibit wit through their self reflection, and all are people you want to know. While This is Where I Leave You made me laugh out loud, Plan B makes me smile. - June

I almost always agree with June and this book is no exception. Made me think that much of their angst is suffered equally at each decade signpost. Buster
