Everything Changes by Jonathan Tropper. “Man's best friend dies in car crash. Guy cheats on fiancee with best friend's widow. Guy pees blood. But don't let these three descriptors drive you away from this book. Tropper is a gifted storyteller, and this is an awesome book.” [Ed: Tropper's How to Talk to a Widower is reviewed below, andThis Is Where I Leave You was a top pick last year. I know it seems like this blog is turning a little "cult of Tropper," but he's REALLY good.]
