I wasn’t sure how this book would end but I thoroughly enjoyed the ending. It’s a great read illustrating the complex issues women have faced and continue to face in society. I feel like everyone could relate at some point to one of the many female characters or at least at some point in their character development. At the end of the day we are all just trying to do our best and be happy.
3.5 stars
Reminiscent of Forrest Gump in that it follows two sisters from their childhood in the 1950s to present time. One or both of them participate in many of the major events during that period.
I particularly enjoyed it because the girls grew up in Detroit, about 8 miles from my childhood home, and then went to UofM. The book was chock-full of details, however some were incorrect. I'm willing to ignore a few, but there were more than a few. And you'd think that a major release like this would have someone fact-check it before printing...

Well-written and kept my attention. Sometimes it felt like the story lingered. A great snapshot of women's reality
Mrs. Everything is the highly anticipated release from women’s literature legend, Jennifer Weiner. Mrs. Everything covers the life of two sisters, Jo and Bethie, as they struggle to find their place and identity in an ever-changing America.
Weiner’s ability to transport you to a totally different time and place makes this book so engrossing There is a Judy Blume vibe in her writing that brought me right back to one of my very favorite adolescent reading favorites, Are You There God It’s Me, Margaret.
I loved the relationships and the powerful(and sometimes painful)issues that were covered. Weiners writing is always so relatable and raw and she is just such a gifted storyteller. If you are looking for a book that will inspire a great conversation with a reading friend, or are looking for your next book club pick, this is it!
Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
