具体描述
The death of Judd Foxman’s father marks the first time that the entire Foxman family—including Judd’s mother, brothers, and sister—have been together in years. Conspicuously absent: Judd’s wife, Jen, whose fourteen-month affair with Judd’s radio-shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public.
Simultaneously mourning the death of his father and the demise of his marriage, Judd joins the rest of the Foxmans as they reluctantly submit to their patriarch’s dying request: to spend the seven days following the funeral together. In the same house. Like a family.
As the week quickly spins out of control, longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed, and old passions reawakened. For Judd, it’s a weeklong attempt to make sense of the mess his life has become while trying in vain not to get sucked into the regressive battles of his madly dysfunctional family. All of which would be hard enough without the bomb Jen dropped the day Judd’s father died: She’s pregnant.
This Is Where I Leave You is Jonathan Tropper's most accomplished work to date, a riotously funny, emotionally raw novel about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bind—whether we like it or not.

读后感
其实评了英文版的，中文版也还不错。 有关家人，有关爱情，有关婚姻..... 我们总是想象回忆中的美丽，于是忽略了现实的美好，于是很多人都过的不够幸福。 我们总是把自己放在世界的中心，但是别人也是一样，于是怨恨多了起来，其他的不明的情绪也多了起来。 我很喜欢这样的感觉...
评分开始读这本书的时候，我坐在医院的候诊大厅里，在大屏幕滚动到我的名字之前，我读完了整整半本。我是想夸这本书可读性很强还是谴责医院排队时间过长，这其实无足轻重，重要的是从医院出来以后，我突然想起来马上就是一个朋友的生日，我觉得这本书非常适合他，于是立刻上京东下...
评分 评分 评分其实，很多事情，你未必懂。 永远不要以为你能看懂一本书的标题 “谁来替我照顾妈妈”，看到这种标题你会想起什么？某人的临终念想？大肆描绘母爱的煽情书？或者讲述母亲辛苦打拼的励志书？全错！本书的内容与标题几乎没有一点联系，这样一本又欢乐又感动又贱又纯又耐琢磨的...

那啥，这就结束了？！
评分你可以哭，當然也可以笑。
评分“Childhood feels so permanent, like it's the entire world, and then one day it's over and you're shoveling wet dirt onto your father's coffin, stunned at the impermanence of everything.”
评分开头几章口吻挺有趣的 后面看过电影知道情节就没那么吸引人了 家庭戏还是很戳泪点 电影选角不错 找Jane Fonda演娘真是个略欢乐的致敬原作 有些细节比电影里骨骼惊奇 由于最近观影和阅读略有绑定 弄得业余文学生活也总是围观婚姻破裂的气息啊!
评分你可以哭，當然也可以笑。
