Eh. The changes in point of view sometimes caught me off guard and I had to back track a few sentences to figure out if I was reading from Cannie or Joy's point of view. The back story got confusing - Aunt Elle changed her name and at certain points she was Elle and in others she was Lucy, her given name. I felt that the book wrapped up Cannie and Joy's relationship too well, complete with the 'parent knows best' ending. Joy's encounter with her grandfather was frightening, but I doubt she would...
I, of course, loved this book because I think I would love anything Jennifer Weiner writes. I am a little surprised that people disliked the book because of the overwhelmingly sad occurance at the end of the book. Did you all think Good in Bed was light hearted and breezy? Because, compared to this, I would say it was much less fantasy. The reason her books touch so many of us profoundly is because she writes about things that many of us endure, but aren't necessarily socially acceptable to disc...
Smart, funny, witty - I've read all of Jennifer Weiner's books. I loved this book, not as much as Good in Bed or In Her Shoes, but a close #3. I thought there was a little too much attention on the teen angst, but I'm a high school English teacher who just finished a school year of teen angst.. LOL.. take it with a grain of salt! The story was brilliant and funny, engaging and I read it all in 3 days. Loved the ending, unexpected and touching. Loved the inside jokes and innuendo I've come to exp...
This may be my favorite Jennifer Weiner book so far. So many likable, well-rounded characters. Jennifer Weiner has a gift for using wit in a way that deepens and reveals a character's sensitive side. The bittersweet ending caught me by surprise. Keep the tissues handy.
I was very excited to finally read the sequel to Jennifer Weiner's best-selling novel Good in Bed. Weiner writes fantastic stories that are both funny and heart-wrenching. (Not sure you've heard of her? In Her Shoes is another highly popular Weiner novel.) Good in Bed is the story of feisty Cannie Shapiro and her journey through weight issues, boyfriend problems, father/daughter issues, dealing with her lesbian mother and single parenting. Certain Girls is the story of Cannie Shapiro, more than
I actually did not finish this book. I have been reading it for 5 days now and should be finished with it by now but am only on page 71. It is so slow, that I cant even get excited about reading it. I will read the last couple of chapters to see how it ends. Even if it is a book that I like, I can read the end and then go back and finish it.I have read other Jennifer Weiner books and really liked them, but I cant recommend this one.Okay I tried to read the last few chapters. Then I came to the t...
Well...what's to say about this book; it's no different than any other book Jennifer Weiner has written. Fat chick whining about being fat. The first Jennifer book I read was "In Her Shoes". I read it because I saw the movie adaption because I love the actress who plays the older sister. Being an only child I was totally enthralled by the relationship between the sisters in the book and the grandmother they didn't know. I loved watching how both sisters transformed and became different women. An...
“Good in Bed” is one of my Top Ten Favorite Books of All Time. It’s funny, it’s all about various relationships and there are even lesbians in it. Over the years, I’ve wondered whatever happened to Cannie Shapiro and Joy? Well, Cannie turned into a scaredy cat housewife/closet writer and Joy turned into a typical teenager. “Certain Girls” takes place 13 years after the end of “Good in Bed.” Cannie is married to Dr. K and Joy is in middle school, preparing for her bat mitzvah. We find out in flas...
Our book club featured this book and when it was selected, I didn't care one way or the other, so went along with it. After reading it though, I HATED it. If you DO read it, don't read the ending. It's lazy and a terrible shame that the author did what she did, the conclusion adds nothing to the story and drags the events out for "dramatic effect." If it were a movie, the audience would say a collective, "oh come on." What I felt was a C- book used an F ending.To be sure: skip the ending. BUT -
