Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
Expected publication: May 19th 2020
I am a huge fan of Jennifer Weiner and when I was given an opportunity to read an advanced copy of her newest novel I jumped at the opportunity. Weiner puts a bit of a different spin on this novel compared to her previous ones. It doesn't disappointed. I was completely engrossed and you will be too! This will make for a perfect Summer read.
Daphne Berg is our main character. She is a twenty something plus sized social media influncer. She is dragged back into the past when her ex-best friend Drue contacts her asking her to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. Daphne is understandably hesitant but she has a big heart and gives in.
Daphne ends up finding herself swept back into the life of Drue and the wedding planning. Then the unthinkable happens and Daphne finds herself front and center.
The story is told in present time with flashbacks to give historical content to aid the story telling. Weiner deals with a variety of topics in this novel, bullying and body shaming are prevalent but health friendships and love also makes the rounds.
* I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
