by Avery Corman
Karen and Rob Burrows are a text-book perfect divorced couple. They have no long-standing resentment and share custody and parenting of their teenaged son Tommy. Each has poured themselves back into their careers and their son. So when Tommy, never a great student, drops out of college after one semester and seems content to move through life with no great plan, they are shocked. Is it possible that their "perfect divorce" had some adverse affects on Tommy anyway?
This book, by the author of "Kramer vs. Kramer", shows the reader the flip side to that famous divorce tale. Karen and Rob have such an easy time of the divorce that it is seems an affront to them that Tommy didn't find it as easy. I found this to be a fairly accurate portrayal of a nice divorce couple and their kid. While I wasn't wild about Tommy's luck at the end of the book that gave everyone the happy ending we've come to expect, overall I enjoyed this book.
