Goddammit this book is a sucker punch. I wanted to call her and ask why why why why why!!? But as always she does a wonderful job of laying out all the ways life and humans and relationships are messy and complicated and rarely turn out how you want
I love Jennifer Weiner and this book certainly didn't disappoint. Great characters and touching stories told in such a heart warming way. Great book.
I really loved "Good In Bed" when I read it in college, but I'm not sure how I feel about the sequel. I think it's one of those stories where I'm totally good with the happily ever after and don't really need to SEE it, y'know? It was an enjoyable, quick read, but I probably could have done without it. Also, I wasn't very pleased with the ending, except for the part where Cannie actually said "fuck that noise." I LOLed.
This book wasn't anywhere near as good as good in bed. The humor just smiply was not there. I was disappointed.
I enjoyed this follow up book, with Cannie as an adult. The end took a turn I didn't expect, but it was a great read.
This sequel started out promising, but ended up all over the place. The 13-year-old character's conflicts were enough to carry the book all the way to the end. I'm not sure why the author felt the need to throw the additional "curveball" near the end which, for me, made the book fall apart at the end. However, I still enjoy Jen Weiner's writing & will continue to read all her books!
I have this feeling that I like Jennifer Weiner. Not necessarily her books, but her. And so I keep reading her books, and sort of enjoy them, and am always sort of disappointed. She has promise on which she doesn't completely deliver. Her plots are fairly conventional. I nearly gave up reading this, as I began to find the format (switching chapter between and mother and a really annoying daughter) to be tedious. For some reason I persevered and found that it improved. And yet... still, I apparently want to be her friend.
I ended up enjoying this book a lot more than I thought I would. It always amazes me when I read a book that should be somewhat difficult for me to relate to and I still find things that I can relate to and understand. I think that is the mark of good author because, when it comes down to it, we are all human, even if our circumstances aren't similar at all. It had some twists I didn't expect and broke my heart and then tried to mend it again. I would definitely read more from this author.
I wasn't sure if the second one would be any good or where it would start from the first, but I was pleasantly surprised. I felt connected to the characters and was sad to see it end. Another Jennifer Weiner success.
