All Fall Down

Allison Weiss got her happy ending—a handsome husband
adorable daughter a job she loves and the big house in the
suburbs. But while waiting in the pediatrician’s office
she opens a magazine to a quiz about addiction and starts
to wonder…Is a Percocet at the end of the day really
different from a glass of wine? Is it such a bad thing to
pop a Vicodin after a brutal Jump & Pump class…or if your
husband ignores you? The pills help her manage the
realities of her good-looking life: that her husband is
distant that her daughter is acting out that her father’s
Alzheimer’s is worsening and her mother is barely managing
to cope. She tells herself that they let her make it
through her days…but what if her increasing drug use a
habit that’s becoming expensive and hard to hide is
turning into her biggest problem of all? With a sparkling
comedic touch and a cast of unforgettable characters this
remarkable story of a woman’s slide into addiction and
struggle to find her way back up again is Jennifer
Weiner’s most masterful work yet.
