The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick

Pat has been in a neural facility for 4 years. In those four years many things have changed. He has no memory of those 4 years, but is released home to find out his wife, Nikki, has divorced him, his brother has gotten married, and his best friend had a daughter. Despite all this, he believes he will be reunited and get back together with his ex-wife. He finds a friend is Tiffany, the sister of a friend, who has depression. Tiffany is odd herself, but agrees to help Pat reunite with his wife if he dances with her in a competition.
This book wasn't at all what I expected, but it was actually really good. Pat clearly had some problems, but so did Tiffany. They were unlikely friends, but were able to help each other find closure. You felt yourself really sympathizing with Pat, with how much he believed in the good. I was glad the story had a happy ending. I am going to try and watch the movie this weekend. It just came in.
