“A mixture of mourning and mockery...Surprisingly moving.”
-Entertainment Weekly

“There's a touch of Nick Hornby in this winning tale about a man raising his stepson after his wife dies.”

-People Magazine

“Hilarous, but emotion-packed...Part of Widower's charm is that there's no happily ever after, no Cinderella-catches-the-fella ending...”

-USA Today

“Jonathan Tropper is a genius. He has yet again written a brilliant, funny, and incredibly poignant book. He is, without question, one of my favorite writers today.”

-Jane Green, author of Swapping Lives

“A wise-cracking, darkly comic tale, yet beneath its raucous plot lies a heartfelt meditation on love and loss.”

-The Daily Mail (UK)

“With superb comic timing, Tropper keeps the sappiness at bay by juxtaposing tender scenes with very funny, often vitriolic dialogue.”

-Booklist

“Tropper's book is a smart comedy of inappropriate behavior at an inopportune time.”

-Publishers Weekly

“Tropper's Latest is a resigned yet hopeful examination of grief with a side of human absurdity ...warm and modestly knowing, with a wisecracking slacker hero.”

-Kirkus Reviews
