Goodnight Nobody: A Novel 196 reviews Jennifer Weiner
Washington Square Press, 2006
Loved this Weiner Book!
Wow, I was expecting to see rave reviews for "Goodnight Nobody" and was surprised people didn't find it as fun as I did. This is my favorite JW book so far and I was really hoping she'd decide to write a second book as a follow up. I thought the dialog was crisp and interesting. Loved the cast of ...

The Jennifer Weiner Collection: "Good in Bed", "In Her Shoes" Jennifer Weiner
Pocket Books, 2005
GOOD IN BED Cannie Shapiro never wanted to be famous. The smart, sharp, plus-sized reporter was perfectly happy writing about other people's lives for her local newspaper. She loves her job, her friends, her dog and her life. She has made a tenuous peace with her body and she even felt okay about ending her relationship with Bruce. But now this...'Loving a larger woman is an act of courage in our ...

Ya-Yas in Bloom 119 reviews Rebecca Wells
HarperCollins, 2005
excellent
+ cool stuff + Reviewed by Diane Kasperski
This third collection of Ya-Ya stories was as beautiful, poignant, funny and sad as the first two. I had to keep a pencil by my side in order to underline the especially beautiful turns of phrase and, believe me, there were many.

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood: A Novel 1173 reviews Rebecca Wells
Harper Paperbacks, 2004
Great Seller!
+ The secrets of the popular girls
The seller made a mistake by putting "hard cover" for the book I purchased when it was a soft cover book. When I received the book and contacted the seller instead of making me pay for shipping or wait for them to send me an envelope to send it back, they told me to just keep the book and fully ...

Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel 120 reviews Lauren Weisberger
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Good Book!
+ You will love this book if you love chick lit!
I'm not sure I agree with many of the other 1,2, & 3 star reviews, but it might have something to do with this being my first novel read written by Lauren Weisberger. No, I only saw the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada" - never read the book. So, I had nothing to compare "Chasing Harry Winston" to ...

If you haven't read the Sweet Potato Queens you are missing out.

Fun take on life from a woman's perspective, great recipes and the straight skinny on how to get men to behave. If you haven't read the Sweet Potato Queens you are missing out on a good time and some great advice on men and life in general.

Certain Girls: A Novel 160 reviews Jennifer Weiner
Atria, 2008
LOVED IT.
+ Lacks the magic + Weiner Delivers a Range of Emotions and Likeable Characters - Recommended!
I am surprised to see that many Good In Bed readers didn't LOVE this book. Is it because of the end? I guess I am not a happily ever after person. To me, Good in Bed is all about Mothers and Daughters and the JOY (no pun intended) that comes from that bond....even though it's a small part of the ...

Hooked Right Away
+ In Her Shoes + Great Read! Jen Weiner Did it again!
From the moment I read the first few paragraphs of this book, I fell in love. Jennifer Weiner effortlessly seams character plots throughout this book, which follows two sisters who have nothing in common but the size of their feet and their love for designer shoes.
Rose is the ugly-duckling who ...

Little Altars Everywhere 243 reviews Rebecca Wells
HarperCollins, 1998
Emotional Roller Coaster
+ A Strongly Written Book About Growing Up
This book was fabulous - not quite as groundbreaking as the "Divine Secrets.." but still fabulous nonetheless. It made me smile, it made me think, and it made me cry - all the things a good book should do and more. Buy it - read it! Enjoy.

The Devil Wears Prada 1025 reviews Lauren Weisberger
Anchor, 2006
Great Read
+ A must have. + Uneven
I just loved this book! I thought that the writing was brilliant. Towards the end though it did get repetitive about just how bad her boss was. I wanted to say, "Okay, I get it already!" It was a bit much. But all in all, I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.

The Guy Not Taken: Stories 59 reviews Jennifer Weiner
Washington Square Press, 2007
Classic Jennifer Weiner in The Guy Not Taken
+ EXCELLENT Seller!
I greatly enjoyed this collection of short stories. Most of the tales revolve around the author's recurring themes of abandonment and self worth and allow the reader glimmers into ideas that obviously developed into her full length novels, and perhaps ones as yet unwritten.
