Mrs. Everything

I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. I ended up loving the book and the character development was amazing.

I remembered Jennifer as a chick lit writer and this was a proper novel. If I disconnect that fact, it was a good book albeit not incredible.

Really, this is probably a 3.5 for me. I gave up half way through, but after reading about the rest of it on Goodreads, I came back to finish. I wanted to see how things got worked out. The reason I almost gave up was that it was a lot of sadness. As someone else said here, every bad fate for 20-21st century American women is here. But I have to say, Weiner is making an important point about our choices & “progress.” The references to HRC toward the end were the final punch. I wanted a fun summer read, and this wasn't that. But the female characters are staying with me, and I'm glad I saw them through their journeys.
