Mrs. Everything
by Jennifer Weiner
3.5 stars. This novel follows sisters Jo and Bethie through their lives from the 1950's-modern day. The author explores the rapidly changing social and gender issues women faced during those decades. But I felt like she did a lot of glossing over many of them, especially at the end regarding Jo. I also felt like the book could have used more editing, there was quite a bit of unnecessary details and paragraphs that should have been tightened up or that space given to deeper exploration of issues vs. descriptions. I loved the message that as women we continue to grow and evolve over our lifetime, particularly as we chafe against societal norms and constraints. The decades Weiner uses involved tremendous social changes in our country and it was lovely to be reminded of really how far we have come, especially in light of recent back-sliding.
