Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner

4.0

---

I was immediately drawn in to Mrs. Everything because I am Jewish and have a little sister who is close in age. I loved Jo and Bethie’s relationship and feel similarly protective of my little sister. This was my first Jennifer Weiner book, and I am definitely planning on looking into other books by her. I’ve heard criticism that it was almost too much, but I disagree. We are still dealing with racism, homophobia, and the restriction of women’s rights in our country in 2019, and I appreciated that she highlighted all three of these issues throughout the 70 years that the book takes place. P.S. Did anyone else make the Little Women connection? Jo, the bookish tomboy and Beth, the sweet “good” girl?
