Her most recent book came out in June and I made sure to read it as soon as it hit the shelves. I keep meaning to write a review, but summer kind of got in the way. Whoops!
With Weiner's books you get complex characters and the female leads who are always realistic--somewhat flawed, always somewhat humorous. I love that her books aren't predictable, like many other authors in this writing genre.
All Fall Down follows Allison, a popular writer and mom of one. Allison seems to have her life together, yet she holds a little secret: she actually can't keep her life together and she has a major addiction to pain pills. Everything comes crashing down (hence the title) and she hits an all time low.
The bulk of the book is devoted to Allison getting her life back on track. I really enjoyed that the story wasn't sugar coated--she does struggle and everyone doesn't hug in the end. I won't give away too much!
Months after reading this book, I still think about it quite frequently. That's the sign of a great book, isn't it?! Once you get started with her books, you'll want to read them all. I really loved Best Friends Forever and Then Came You as well.
