All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner

Allison is a stress-out wife and mother who turns to opioids to help her cope.  Novels follows her decline and ascent.  I liked the novel, but wish the author hadn't given her quite so many problems.

The Arsonist by Sue Miller

Audio

Read by the author.

11.5 hours

Someone is burning down the houses of the "summer people" in a small town.  Frankie Rowley, recently returned from working in Africa, returns to find the town atwitter, her father's mind failing, and possible romance with the publisher of the local newspaper.

The stories were enjoyable, but the ending was very disappointing.  The identity of the arsonist was never positively named.
