Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner

Certain Girls is a "part two" sort of follow up to Good In Bed. A few years ago I blogged about/reviewed Jennifer Weiner's Good In Bed. I went back to read what I had written to make sure I was not mistaken. Because I remembered absolutely LOVING Good In Bed!! I gave it a rave review and was so happy with the happy ending. In fact, I can even remember a lot of the story still!

Cannie Sharpio now has a 13-year daughter and she is lovely like all 13-year old girls are. . . sarcasm. Jennifer Weiner does a great job capturing the mother-daughter relationship. I myself, have no daughters. Thankfully. But I was a teen-aged daughter at one time and Weiner hit it on the nose. We are MEAN to our mothers. For no reason what-so-ever!

Other than that sub-story line, Certain Girls was a slight disappointment. It made me want to take back the good things I said about Good In Bed. First, the author made it a story within a story where the original story is a fiction story based on fictional fact. If that makes any sense. More over, Ms. Weiner took away my happy ending!!

I felt robbed.
