The bestselling author of This Is Where I Leave You returns with a hilarious and heart-rending tale about one familiy's struggle to reconnect. “Mistakes have been made.” Drew Silver has begun to accept that life isn’t going to turn out as he expected. His fleeting fame as the drummer for a one-hit wonder rock band is nearly a decade behind him. His ex-wife is about to marry a terrific guy. And his Princeton-bound teenage daughter Casey has just confided in him that she’s pregnant—because Silver is the one she cares least about letting down.So when Silver learns that he requires emergency life-saving heart surgery, he makes the radical decision to refuse the operation, choosing instead to spend what time he has left to repair his relationship with Casey, become a better man, and live in the moment—even if that moment isn’t going to last very long. As his exasperated family looks on, Silver grapples with the ultimate question of whether or not his own life is worth saving.

A rather apt book to take along with me during my travels following a band. So far Jonathan Tropper can do no wrong by me, and while this isn't as laugh out loud hilarious as This Is Where I Leave You, it is just as good only in its own way. The characters are quintessentially dysfunctional, as on...

Check out Scott Reads It! for reviews, giveaways, & more! I had never even heard of Jonathan Tropper before requesting One Last Thing because I mostly read Young Adult books. I was intrigued by the book's description, but I didn't actually expect that I would enjoy it. I'm definitely not the "t...

Yeah, so I’m pretty much completely enamored with Jonathan Tropper. I read “This is Where I Leave You” and was smitten – immediately followed by the fear that he might be a one-hit wonder. Thankfully, that turned out not to be the case and now I’m completely head-over-heels in love with his writin...

4.0 One Last Thing Before I Go
I had just finished Me Before You by Jojo Moyes (which was very good), when I began to read One Last Thing Before I Go. Uhoh, I thought, I am going to need tissues again, but no, even though the themes are really serious, it is done with such a light hand and so much humor, that it was easy to read,...
