Pat Peoples knows that life doesn't always go according to plan, but he's determined to get his back on track. After a stint in a psychiatric hospital, Pat is staying with his parents and trying to live according to his new philosophy: get fit, be nice and always look for the silver lining. Most importantly, Pat is determined to be reconciled with his wife Nikki. Pat's parents just want to protect him so he can get back on his feet, but when Pat befriends the mysterious Tiffany, the secrets they've been keeping from him threaten to come out.
I bought the book meaning to read it before setting the movie, but ended up setting the movie first and only just finished the book.
Both are wonderful, even if they sent exactly the same. without any spoilers, there isn't much that I can say except that I thought the ending was wonderful, beautiful, and moving. I loved the movie, and now I love this book.
