This Book Will Save Your Life by A.M. Homes is a surprisingly funny, heartfelt novel set in L.A. Richard, middle-aged, successful, living in a fabulous house in a wealthy L.A. neighborhood appears to have everything; but his life has become sterile and boring and completely shut off from the rest of the world until a few events that he can’t avoid pull him out of his isolation.

In this book you will find sinkholes, horses, famous actors, helicopters, kidnapping, donuts and most of all redemption. Witty, original and unexpected, I loved every moment of it. A highly recommended read.
