Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner
2.0

I picked this up because I read the prequel and felt it was less fluffy than I had assumed it would be, and I actually enjoyed it (even though I cringe to say it, because it's chick fluff).

This book isn't really worth it though. What made the first one compelling to me was the main character's tenacity and pluck in dealing with tough situations, and here she's just a nervous and obnoxious mother. The plot is too predictable, except for an end twist that I found unnecessary and frustrating. Maybe if I had a teenager or was a teenager I would find it accessible, but I just don't.
