Same premise as Firefly Lane, about 2 best friends only not as much depth in the characters and story line. And what the heck, we know along what is up with Dan Swansea so how is that storyline remotely interesting. Their friendship is dull and I end up not liking Val much. And the relationshi...
Enjoyable chick lit. This was a fun summer read. easy and kept my interest.
A short story of a woman (mom and consultant), Piper, who is off to Paris for a week or work only to have her husband tell her that he will not be home when she returns. In other words, he is leaving her. In this short story we see Piper deal with the problem of being the main breadwinner, of hav...
This book has been very difficult to read.. She needs to find her passion for writing again I found this book to be entertaining and funny, with some heartwarming moments.
Just read the greatest short story by Jennifer Weiner. Maureen has recently been widowed and finds a present in the attic from her late husband - an off brand GPS to help Maureen find her way now that she’s alone the world. As she’s driving to see her sister one day, the calm female voice stops...
Sometimes a person needs a light read. A fun read. A pick it up and put it down (finished in a day) read. This book is all of these things, but it also carries an important message in an accessible format. We meet many people in our lives and love many be eternal or fleeting. Regardless of t...
I know that Weiner is a good writer and storyteller, but I just never got around to picking up another of her books (or seeing that movie with Cameron Diaz) until this weekend, when I gobbled up The Guy Not Taken, a collection of short stories by Weiner.They're good, and they deal heavily with tw...
I have to say that I pretty much hated this book. I only gave it that extra star because the actual writing is pretty good. She spins a good tale, and pretty much the only person you like in the book is Janie, her best friend. Kate, the main character, is pretty much one of the most selfish pe...
Many good moments and interesting thoughts, sadly coupled with questionable drivel. The humour sometimes bordered on offensive, as seems too often the case with today's chick lit/comedy fiction.It's the story of three women. Rose Feller is a plain, conservative, bright thirty-year-old lawyer in P...
First off, let me start off by saying I'm a big Jennifer Weiner fan. Her books are the perfect in-between books. You know, those books that are light and fluffy reads and that are perfect to read in-between serious books? That's what describes Jennifer Weiner's books.Now, "Certain Girls" is a ...
Damn, I just blew through a 400 page book in less then two days. And I actually comprehended everything, mainly cause it was a Jennifer Weiner book and I have enjoyed the past two books of her I read. So it's not really much of a surprise. Just shows you how much I did this weekend as well (nothi...
