Mrs. Everything
Publication Date 6/11/2019
I have always been a huge fan of Jennifer Weiner. I can't express my excitement and having an opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of her newest novel, "Mrs. Everything". This book is a bit different from her usual novels but don't like that sway you because it's an outstanding read!
This book spans four generations yet it is essentially about the lives of two sisters from the 1950s to present day. We meet Bethie and Jo during childhood and follow them through adolescence and adulthood. They are as different as two sisters could be but each have their own internal demons to face as they navigate their lives. Neither issue is more important than the other but they both "heavy".
It's important to note that this novel deals with some hard hitting emotional issues such as rape, homophobia, sexual abuse, eating disorders, etc. Weiner has created some strong characters and that are well developed and has proved that she is more than just a "chick-lit" writer.
* I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
