Plan B

Jonathan Tropper's first novel, Plan B, is the story of a group of college friends reunited in a set of crazy circumstances. After a reunion in New York where Plan A goes awry, they decide to stage Plan B: an intervention for actor Jack's cocaine addiction. The group kidnaps Jack and takes him to the cabin of his best friend Alison, who has always wished their relationship could be more than platonic. During this time, the friends; Jack, Alison, the novelist narrator Ben who has just separated from his wife, free spirit Lindsay who happens to be Ben's ex-girlfriend, and insecure surgeon Chuck find themselves in a huge media frenzy. After the local police department figures out what is going on, the national media are not far behind. In addition to dealing with the feds, the friends find themselves backtracking to past romantic relationships and friendships. This book reminds me of a well-written movie that should have a soundtrack filled with cutting edge music and overall, I really enjoyed it.
