ALL FALL DOWN (Jennifer Weiner) - December 31/14

I was definitely enjoying this for a while, since Weienr does a nice job of establishing the protagonist and her unpleasantly hectic life. But the author transforms what should've been a simple story into an almost insanely overlong epic. There's a whole final hundred pages devoted to the main character's stint at a rehab facility, whereas I would've been fine with the book ending with her just arriving there. Needless to say the book became quite a chore to finish. ** out of ****
