A comic novel that follows a newly empty-nested divorcee and her college freshman jock son. There is adult content; I did not find it offensive, but funny. Besides the great writing and understated humor the best thing about this book is the author's humanity, his respect for his struggling characters. A subplot involves a couple with a young son with autism. The autism parts are spot-on; loving parenting combined with rueful acceptance of the tragic aspects of autism. I think Perrota is one of my new favorite authors.
