John Irving's Hotel New Hampshire. Just finished it. Beautifully written.
Spoiler for however:
I was hooked right through to the detonation of the bomb, but the book kind of fell apart for me after that. I was dissatisfied with how John and Franny dealt with their relationship, the Chipper Dove revenge scene was surreal and absurd to the point of ridiculousness, and I didn't like how Susie and John came together in the end. Honestly, I think maybe John should have ended up alone with just a fake hotel pet project. It felt like Irving was trying too hard to give these characters a happy ending after going through so much, but I don't mind bleak endings and I think one would have been more appropriate here.
