jschiedelanderson 's review for:
Mrs. Everything
by Jennifer Weiner
(Me aloud to my friend when I pause from reading this book.) "Oh lord, and now ____________ is happening." 350 pages in: "Oh good! Something positive is about to happen to a character FINALLY."
This book depressed me. It brought up the same feelings that watching the news today brings up for me. The writing was good. The characters (debatably minus Lila) and family dynamics were believable. And then it tackled all the issues possible. It was a lot. And then you are left with the questions- Yes, things are better for women, yes, things are different. But are they really? Emotionally better?
Mrs. Everything is a great bookclub pick, and I look forward to my bookclub's discussion this week.
