Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner
4.0

4.25
Mrs. Everything is a beautiful book that is deeply moving. Starting in 1950, we are taken on the journey of sisters Jo and Bethie as they navigate their way in the world. Through the decades, we see how each is impacted by the times in terms of women’s place in society, racial and gay rights, religion and politics ending in 2016 with the candidacy of Hilary Clinton. The choices made by each sister impact the other and draw them both apart and together over the years. The importance of love and having the opportunity to choose who you love is a theme throughout. This book shows how life and love is complicated, messy and difficult. An emotional read.
