Jennifer Weiner writes novels that are wonderful and more wonderful! This is a “more wonderful “ book. The story centers around three women, sisters Zoe and Cassie, and Zoe’s daughter, Cherry. The sisters became a legend during their short musical career. Now, it is Cherry who wants the opportunity to become a musician. . Not so easy! Her aunt and her mother have been estranged for TWENTY years and her aunt Cassie has been hiding in Alaska, isolated, during those years.

So begins a totally engrossing novel about these women. As usual the writing is crisp and engaging. Weiner takes us through their birth, childhood and searing rivalry as they became the Griffin Sisters. The author shows an incredible sensitivity when writing about women who deal with weight issues or who make foolish choices when very young.

This is simply a tremendous novel which readers will love. Book groups will find many issues to discuss. The culture of the changing music industry is fascinating, from albums TO CDs to SPOTIFY. I would say this is Weiner’s best, most complex novel since Mrs. America.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this extraordinary novel.
