A review by eggjen
Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner

3.0

Writing a followup to such a successful book is no easy task - and reading the sequel to one of my favorite books is perhaps harder. It's been years since reading Good in Bed and it took me awhile to fall back into sync with the characters of the book, especially as they had all changed and aged.

I did like reading this story of Candace Shapiro and her now 12 year old daughter Joy - now that I am a parent also, I think the plot was especially interesting. There were things I didn't love about it, particularly the ending which came completely out of left field for me - but I do think it will be a story that stays with me.
