Plan B: A Novel

Plan B: A Novel by Tropper, Jonathan. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780312252533.

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 Bens getting a divorce; Lindseys 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 theyd imagined ten years ago. Jonathan Troppers wonderful debut novel is about more than friendship, love, celebrity, addiction, kidnapping, or even turning thirty-- its a heartfelt comic riff on what it means to be an adult against your will, to be single when you thought youd 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.
