Poignant and Funny
Who knew relationship issues could be so funny? Somehow Tropper pulls it off. He does better with the male characters, but all in all an enjoyable read.

A MUST READ
This book was recommended to me. It is a wonderful, funny quick read. It totally sterotypes, in a good way, the jewish family and all of its dynamics.
