Previously published as How Not to Die Alone
Smart, darkly funny, and life-affirming, for fans of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, Something to Live For is the bighearted debut novel we all need. It's a story about love, loneliness, and the importance of taking a chance when we feel we have the most to lose.
"Off-beat and winning.... Gives resiliency and the triumph of the human spirit a good name." (The Wall Street Journal)
All Andrew wants is to be normal. That's why his coworkers believe he has the perfect wife and two children waiting at home for him after a long day. But the truth is, his life isn't exactly as people think...and his little white lie is about to catch up with him. Because in all of Andrew's efforts to fit in, he's forgotten one important thing: how to really live. And maybe, it's finally time for him to start.
"Roper illuminates Andrew's interior life to reveal not what an odd duck he is, but what odd ducks we all are." (The New York Times Book Review)

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Just the kind of book I wanted to read in these times. Charming, empathetic, witty, emotional, and hopeful, Roper’s cast of quirky, vulnerable characters make for a truly warm and affecting debut." (J. Ryan Stradal, author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest)
"[A] winning debut novel.... Roper illuminates Andrew’s interior life to reveal not what an odd duck he is, but what odd ducks we all are.” (New York Times Book Review)
“Quirky and heartfelt.... Andrew's past traumas are revealed gradually, and the reasons behind his isolation are heartbreaking and poignant. A moving and funny look at grief, hope, and the power of human connections.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Loved It

That being said, the rest of the book was pretty repetitive and often frustrating (I found myself actually saying out loud on one occasion, "Just TELL HER!") and, honestly, a bit depressing.
Overall, I didn't hate it but I wouldn't read it again and it's definitely not on my top 10 list.
A bit Meandering But It Gets There Eventually

Definitely worth the read/listen. This book had me hooked from the beginning, and I wanted to listen without interruption... But alas, sleep beckoned and stomach growled... So Andrew and Peggy (and Mr. Vance) had to wait. 🙂 Just finished it, and would love to read/hear more!
Please, mister, may we have another? 😉
Great book, author, and narrator.
