lbhavkillo 's review for:

Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner
3.0

I think my upbringing with a mother who was so adamant that I not be limited to what she was limited to (being a nurse or a teacher) and who played college sports in the early days of Title IX made it hard for me to relate to Jo and Bethie. I wanted to feel more sympathy for their familial strife, but mostly was annoyed and/or disinterested. My older sibling bias put me firmly on Jo's side when Bethie was blaming her for everything. The last quarter of the book was more my speed, with the women being more assertive, except Lila. Overall, not my favorite Jennifer Weiner book, but entertaining.
