Don't know what I was expecting after reading Good In Bed, but this was really good. Tearjerker wasn't expecting to get so emotional but I cried for the last five chapters or more. Very good read.
While I really enjoyed spending more time with Cannie, and getting to meet Joy as a tween...I was not as impressed with this novel as I was with 'Good In Bed'. The alternating perspectives of both mother and daughter were sometimes awkward, and I didn't feel as closely connected to Cannie as I did in the first book. I wasn't overly thrilled with a lot of her parental choices and just felt she would have been a different kind of mother than she was.
The ending was a total shocker, and while I don't have a problem with that...I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I don't know if it really worked or not.
Still, for those who loved Good In Bed, it's worth a read. And I hope there is another story about these wonderful ladies in the future.

I appreciated being able to follow up with Cannie Shapiro after Good in Bed, but the story line was simply ok.
Was not my favorite book but had some interesting twists in it that I was not expecting
And in my effort to cover as much of Jennifer Weiner's previous work this summer as possible, I read the sequel to her first book Good in Bed. Loved the character just as much a second time.
The sequel to Good In Bed is ejoyable, the writing is even, the characters have evolved, and I enjoyed seeing how Cannie adjusted to being a wife and mother and her relationship with her surly and confused teenage daughter was very realistic. It's an easy read, with moments of joy and sadness, mistakes and triumphs, and a big twist that I never saw coming. In other words . . . it's a lot like . . . life.
It was hard to decide how many stars this book received. I really really enjoyed it up until the ending. It was good to see how Cannie had grown and changed and I enjoyed reading Joy's perspective. But I hated the ending so much that it colored my entire view of the book up until that point.
