Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner
This story spans several decades, starting in 1951 and going into the future to 2022. It follows two sisters, Jo and Bethie, as they grow up experiencing a multitude of events. While their journeys are different and the sisters don’t always get along, they are there for each other when it matters.
I love Jennifer Weiner’s books and was thrilled to receive an advanced reading copy. This book is published on June 11th. This story discusses so many events in our history such as racism, sexuality, drugs, societal pressures for what a ‘normal’ woman should want, and many others. It does not take on any of these issues and try to tell you what is right. Rather it indicates how these issues were perceived at a time in history. It shows how the perceptions changed over time for some issues and remain the same for others. Jo and Bethie give insights into these times and express feelings many people faced. I think this is a book for everyone to read to help understand our past, especially as women. It is a story of the strength of women!
I give this book 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!
