Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner

Certain girls in engaging and a fantastic sequel to "Good in Bed." I have anxious awaited this book and the wait was definitely worth it. Weiner gives us a more "grown up" , Cannie. The chapters are told from two different point of views, Cannie's and her teen daughter's. Expect the unexpected. You will feel the pain and frustration of both, Cannie and her daughter, Joy. Weiner's other books besides, Good in Bed were a just a bit above average but she wins back her fans with this one. Be prepared for a more mature and lovable, Cannie. Weiner delivers a plethora of emotions while adding a mix of tradition, family, friendship, love and acceptance. Some people may hate the end but I felt it added more truth and reality, there by giving this book more substance and life like quality.
