It has a combination of dark humor and heart that really hit the right balance with me. I laughed out loud reading this, something I so rarely do - I am reminded of the first time I read Naked by David Sedaris, the portrayal of a disfunctional family is fantastic. The dialog is sharp, the characters are consistent, and the plot resolves in a manner entirely consistent with the rest of the book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Doug Parker is a widower at age twenty-nine, and in his quiet suburban town, that makes him something of a celebrity--the object of sympathy, curiosity, and, in some cases, unbridled desire. But Doug has other things on his mind. First there's his sixteen-year-old stepson, Russ: a once-sweet kid who now is getting into increasingly serious trouble on a daily basis. Then there are Doug's sisters: his bossy twin, Claire, who's just left her husband and moved in with Doug, determined to rouse him from his grieving stupor. And Debbie, who's engaged to Doug's ex-best friend and maniacally determined to pull off the perfect wedding at any cost. Soon Doug's entire nuclear family is in his face. And when he starts dipping his toes into the shark-infested waters of the second-time-around dating scene, it isn't long before his new life is spinning hopelessly out of control, cutting a harrowing and often hilarious swath of sexual missteps and escalating chaos across the suburban landscape. Funny, sexy, and smart, How to Talk to a Widower is a novel about finding your way, even when you have no idea where it is you want to go. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

He's basking in self-aware self-pity as he stupidly sets up adultery with a woman who will be related to his sister
Debbie when she gets married.
Turns out sadly unfunny and predictable. ( )
