United States

William Morrow

One of the most anticipated books of the year, from #1 New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author Jennifer Weiner,&nbsp;a glimmering novel set in the world of pop music about sisters, motherhood, young love, and the dreams we chase. Sisters Cassie and Zoe Grossberg were born just a year apart but could not have been more different. Zoe, blessed with charm and beauty, yearned for fame from the moment she could sing into a hairbrush. Cassie was a musical prodigy who never felt at home in her own skin and preferred the safety of the shadows. On the brink of adulthood in the early 2000s, destiny intervened, catapulting the sisters into the spotlight as the pop sensation the Griffin Sisters, hitting all the touchstones of early aughts fame--SNL, MTV, Rolling Stone magazine--along the way. But after a whirlwind year in the public eye, the band abruptly broke up. Two decades later, Zoe's a housewife; Cassie's off the grid. The sisters aren't speaking, and the real reason for the Griffin Sisters' breakup is still a mystery. Zoe's teenage daughter, Cherry, who's determined to be a star in spite of Zoe's warnings, is on a quest to learn the truth about what happened to the band all those years ago. As secrets emerge, all three women must face the consequences of their choices: the ones they made and the ones the music industry made for them. Can they forgive each other--and themselves? And will the Griffin Sisters ever make music again?

Genre Fiction

'Mrs. Everything is like "Beaches" but with mothers and daughters and sisters. I may never recover.' (Jill Grunenwald, author of RUNNING WITH A POLICE ESCORT and READING BEHIND BARS)
From Jennifer Weiner, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Who Do You Love and In Her Shoes comes a smart, thoughtful, and timely exploration of two sisters' lives from the 1950s to the present as theystruggle to find their places-and be true to themselves-in a rapidly evolving world. Do we change or does the world change us?
Jo and Bethie Kaufman were born into a world full of promise. 
 Growing up in 1950s Detroit, they live in a perfect 'Dick and Jane' house, where their roles in the family are clearly defined. Jo is the tomboy, the bookish rebel with a passion to make the world more fair; Bethie is the pretty, feminine good girl, a would-be star who enjoys the power her beauty confers and dreams of a traditional life.
But the truth ends up looking differently than what the girls imagined. Jo and Bethie survive traumas and tragedies. As their lives unfold against the background of free love and Vietnam, Woodstock and Women's Lib, Bethie becomes an adventure-loving wild child who dives headlong into the counterculture, and is up for anything (except settling down). Meanwhile, Jo becomes a proper young mother in Connecticut, a witness to the changing world instead of a participant. Neither woman inhabits the world she dreams of, or has a life that feels authentic, or brings her joy. Is it too late for the women to finally stake a claim on happily ever after?
 In her most ambitious novel yet, Jennifer Weiner tells a story of two sisters who, with their different dreams and different paths, offer answers to the question: How should a woman be in the world?
Mrs. Everything is an ambitious, richly textured journey through history - and herstory - as these two sisters navigate a changing America over the course of their lives.

'Big Summeris the perfect beach read' PopSugar\n'Beautifully written, twisty and compelling . . . I raced through it' Daily Mail\nThe No. 1 New York Times bestselling author returns with an unforgettable novel about friendship set during a disastrous wedding on picturesque Cape Cod.\nSix years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favour to ask. Daphne hasn't spoken one word to Drue in all this time - she doesn't even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media - so when Drue asks if she will be her maid of honour at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless.\nDrue was always the one who had everything - except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne's no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She's built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend's siren song.\n______________\nDiscover why readers are IN LOVE with Jennifer Weiner:\n'Nothing short of brilliant' People\n'Friendship, weddings, and rich people being weird?

Big Summer: the best escape you'll have this year

Humor & Satire

Amazon.com Review\nAn Amazon Best Book of May 2021: With a title like That Summer and a cover resplendent with a beachy scene, readers may expect a light and fluffy summer read in Weiner’s latest. That Summer is not that book, and in this reader’s eyes, that is a very good thing. Daisy Shoemaker, devoted wife, mother, and keeper of house, starts receiving emails intended for a stranger named Diana with a very similar email address. While clearing up the confusion, Daisy and Diana arrange to meet up and they quickly become friends. Daisy is lonely: her husband, Hal, works long hours, treats her like a kept pet, and her 15-year old daughter is sullen and rebellious. But Diana is keeping a secret from her past, an event that caused her charmed life to spin out of control, and Daisy is an unknowing party in Diana’s revenge plan. That Summer is a powerful and insightful book about the #metoo movement, friendship and family, and the role of men and women. Even after years of bestsellers, Weiner’s ability to keep her books fresh and relevant speaks to her talent as a writer. —Sarah Gelman, Amazon Book Review\n'An ambitious, immersive novel from the author of In Her Shoes' Red Magazine\n'Engrossing' Sunday Mirror\n'If you have time for only one book this summer, pick this one' The New York Times 
____________________________\nFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Summer comes another timely and deliciously twisty novel of intrigue, secrets, and the transformative power of female friendship.\nDaisy Shoemaker can't sleep. With a thriving cooking business, full schedule of volunteer work, and a beautiful home in the Philadelphia suburbs, she should be content. But her teenage daughter can be a handful, her husband can be distant, her work can feel trivial, and she has lots of acquaintances, but no real friends. Still, Daisy knows she's got it good. So why is she up all night?\nWhile Daisy tries to identify the root of her dissatisfaction, she's also receiving misdirected emails meant for a woman named Diana Starling, whose email address is just one punctuation mark away from her own. While Daisy's driving carpools, Diana is chairing meetings. While Daisy's making dinner, Diana's making plans to reorganize corporations. Diana's glamorous, sophisticated, single-lady life is miles away from Daisy's simpler existence. When an apology leads to an invitation, the two women meet and become friends. But, as they get closer, we learn that their connection was not completely accidental. Who IS this other woman, and what does she want with Daisy?\nFrom the manicured Main Line of Philadelphia to the wild landscape of the Outer Cape, written with Jennifer Weiner's signature wit and sharp observations, That Summer is a story about surviving our pasts, confronting our futures, and the sustaining bonds of friendship.\n____________________________\nFind out why everyone's talking about Jennifer Weiner\n'You'll love this book and wish she was your friend' MINDY KALING\n'Fiercely funny, powerfully smart, and remarkably brave' CHERYL STRAYED\n'Like Helen Fielding, Weiner balances fresh humour, deft characterisations, and literary sensibility' THE GUARDIAN\n'Mrs Everything is like Beaches but with mothers and daughters and sisters.

Allison Weiss got her happy ending-a handsome husband, an adorable daughter, a job she loves, and the big house in the suburbs. But while waiting in the pediatrician's office, she opens a magazine to a quiz about addiction and starts to wonder: Is a Percocet at the end of the day really different from a glass of wine? She tells herself that the pills help her make it through her days--but what if her increasing drug use, a habit that's becoming expensive and hard to hide, is turning into her biggest problem of all?
