Cannie Shapiro, Jennifer Weiner’s beloved character from her first novel, “Good In Bed,” is back. This time, we no longer see Cannie as a witty but angry plus-size woman struggling with a bad breakup and Hollywood dreams.
She’s married to the charming Dr. Krushelevansky, she’s a mom and has a stable writing career. Cannie’s seemingly stable world is shaken up when her husband decides he wants a new baby and her daughter takes the plunge into adolescent rebellion.
This time, the story is told through two perspectives—that of Cannie and her teenage daughter Joy. This novel will leave you wanting to give your loved ones a big, big hug.
“My Sister Jodie” Jacqueline Wilson
Don’t write this off as a book for kids. You’d be making a big mistake. Sure, the font size is big and there are the occasional illustrations. But this is a story that will keep anyone, even adults, hooked.
The story is told through the perspective of Pearl, a shy girl with a bold, wild older sister, Jodie. Follow their adventures as they move into Melchester College after their parents get jobs there. Their story is about sibling love and growing up—something everyone can appreciate.
It is a fun read, but one that will also touch you. Brace yourself for the ending. I was left with my mouth hanging open.
“The Feng Shui Junkie” Brian Gallagher
It isn’t new, but this book should be picked up by more people. I am honestly surprised it hasn’t been turned into a Hollywood movie yet.
What would you do if you discovered your husband was cheating? “The Feng Shui Junkie” is a bittersweet tale of revenge, one that will have you egging on the book’s protagonist Julie no matter how crazy she gets.
Brian Gallagher shows amazing flair for writing a story from a woman’s perspective. The book is funny, shocking and surprisingly heartwarming. It is a wild ride that will keep you coming back for more.
