If you've read This Is Where I Leave You, then you're probably sick of hearing Judd go on and on about Jen's betrayal. He's like that friend who's constantly gchatting you about his girl problems: Ping. Ping. Ping. Dude, we're trying to work, here! But look at it from Judd's perspective: it's bad enough that his wife cheated on him, but it's so much worse that she cheated on him with his uber-handsome boss, Wade. Does Judd deal with the betrayal well? Don't make us lol. Judd's world has been turned upside down. His wife, his career, and his friends are all gone in the blink of an eye. How do you pick up the pieces and move on from something like that? Well, a road trip is a good start.
