Any suggestions?

Yes.
The Book of Joe -- buy it via the LawTalkers' Amazon link.
Tom Perrotta's Election (made into an underrated movie starring Ferris Bueller and Reese Witherspoon), Joe College, and Little Children are also quite good.
Finally, if you haven't read Richard Russo, you really should. Nobody's Fool is my favorite, followed closely by Straight Man and Empire Falls.
Enjoy.
