All Fall Down

About the book

Allison Weiss has found her happy ending - a handsome husband, an adorable daughter, a job she loves, and the big house in the suburbs. However, while waiting in the pediatrician’s office, she comes across a quiz about addiction in a magazine and begins to question things. Is a Percocet at the end of the day really that different from a glass of wine? Is it really so terrible to take a Vicodin after a tough Jump & Pump class…or when her husband ignores her? She convinces herself that the pills help her get through each day…but what if her growing dependence on drugs, a habit that is becoming costly and difficult to conceal, is actually becoming her biggest problem?

Described as “a clever, honest commentary on the present era” (Boston Herald), this extraordinary tale of a woman’s descent into addiction and her journey to overcome it is Jennifer Weiner’s most skillful, poignant, and acclaimed work to date.
