Thank you to Atria Books and Netgalley for making this available for me to read.
Mrs. Everything will be, undoubtedly, one of the best books of 2019. What struck with me is how beautiful and touching Jennifer has intertwined all of the world issues we are dealing with from the 1960s until today, such as racism, LGBT, politics, marriage, parenthood, sexual assault, gender equality and death, in the incredible story of Jo and Bethie.
Due to having sisters of my own and experiencing similar struggles, I have never felt this connected with a book before. I especially connected with Bethie's story. Reading her story has healed me in a way that I cannot describe in words.
I cried throughout several parts of this book, and am a crying mess by the time I got to the end.
It is a definite must-read.

Audioboek op Storytel.
Dit was fantastisch. Een lang, feministisch familiedrama, waar ik van geniet.

I am a Jennifer Weiner fan and really relished her latest book. Her writing is easy to follow yet touches upon important, complex issues. This book tells the story of two sisters over several decades, and I found myself identifying at times with the older sister, Jo. Weiner takes time to develop the characters and draw us into their worlds. Throughout the book, I felt a range of emotions and wondering about how different the sisters’ lives would have been had they grown up at a different time.

A beautiful story that delves into the bonds of sisterhood.
