sarabearian 's review for:
Mrs. Everything
by Jennifer Weiner
In Jennifer Weiner’s longest novel to date, we follow two women as they explore the trials and tribulations of growing up in suburban Detroit.
As soon as Jo and Bethie Kaufman enter this world their roles are clearly defined, not only by their own parents, but society as a whole. As we follow these two women through the 50's, 60's, and 70's, we see them both change and come into their own versions of themselves. What is surprising, is the people we feel are the conformists are sometimes the complete opposite and may surprise you. Told in a span of several years, and jumping from sister to sister, we witness Jo and Bethie navigate womanhood according to the world going on around them.
Like A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Little Women, it was an enjoyable read and plenty of content for a book discussion group.
