All Fall Down

By Jennifer Weiner

Book Overview

From a #1 New York Times bestselling author comes her "best book yet" (Philadelphia Inquirer), a "compulsively readable" novel that shows "there's no doubt Weiner knows how to deliver a certain kind of story, and well" (The New York Times Book Review).

Allison Weiss got her happy ending--a handsome husband, an 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? She tells herself that the pills help 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?

Hailed as "a witty, realistic criticism on the modern age" (Boston Herald), this remarkable story of a woman's fall into addiction and struggle to find her way back up again is Jennifer Weiner's most masterful, moving, and celebrated work yet.

Customer Reviews

Good book, finished it quickly

This was a good book.. easy to read so I finished it in a few nights. I found myself very into the main character... I literally shook my head in disgust at her a couple times... The story does not glamorize the issues which I very much appreciated, and as I could relate to some of the story, I thought it was very realistic. This could be beneficial to those teetering on the line of substance abuse vs recreational use, but even if not, it was a good story, though predictable.
