"[A] hilarious but emotion-packed novel . . . Part of Widower's charm is that there's no happily ever after, no Cinderella-catches-the-fella ending. Doug's flawed new life is a series of hits and mostly misses, but you get the feeling he just might learn to love life--and women--again." --USA Today
"There's a touch of Nick Hornby in this winning tale." --People
"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 Second Chance
"The voice of the main character . . . will stick in your head, giving you a powerful new arsenal of one-liners." --Men's Health
"A mixture of mourning and mockery, Widower proves most fun (and surprisingly moving) when exploring Doug's sarcastic inner thoughts." --Entertainment Weekly
"Most resembles Lolly Winston's light, bright Good Grief . . . [An] entertaining new contribution to lad lit." --Miami Herald
"Tropper has the twentysomething guy thing down to a science. His prose is funny and insightful, his characters quirky and just a bit off-balance but decent enough to take our hearts. . . . A wonderful read; highly recommended." --Library Journal
"Mix[es] pathos and comedy in equal measure . . . With superb comic timing, Tropper keeps the sappiness at bay by juxtaposing tender scenes . . . with very funny, often vitriolic dialogue." --Booklist
"Jonathan Tropper has practically defined the sardonic, lonely voice of a generation of aging adolescents." --Kirkus Reviews
"A portrait of a modern guy in crisis . . . Alternately flippant and sad." -- Publishers Weekly
