Publisher's Summary
In this instant New York Times best seller and “multigenerational narrative that’s nothing short of brilliant” (People), two sisters’ lives from the 1950s to the present are explored as they struggle to find their places - and be true to themselves - in a rapidly evolving world from number one New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Weiner.
Jo and Bethie Kaufman were born into a world full of promise.
Growing up in 1950s Detroit, they live in a perfect “Dick and Jane” house, where their roles in the family are clearly defined. Jo is the tomboy, the bookish rebel with a passion to make the world more fair; Bethie is the pretty, feminine good girl, a would-be star who enjoys the power her beauty confers and dreams of a traditional life.
But the truth ends up looking different from what the girls imagined. Jo and Bethie survive traumas and tragedies. As their lives unfold against the background of free love and Vietnam, Woodstock and women’s lib, Bethie becomes an adventure-loving wild child who dives headlong into the counterculture and is up for anything (except settling down). Meanwhile, Jo becomes a proper young mother in Connecticut, a witness to the changing world instead of a participant. Neither woman inhabits the world she dreams of, nor has a life that feels authentic or brings her joy. Is it too late for the women to finally stake a claim on happily ever after?
In “her most sprawling and intensely personal novel to date” (Entertainment Weekly), Jennifer Weiner tells a “simply unputdownable” (Good Housekeeping) story of two sisters who, with their different dreams and different paths, offer answers to the question: How should a woman be in the world?

Story
Thirty-three-year-old Abby Stern has made it to a happy place. True, she still has gig jobs instead of a career, and the apartment where she’s lived since college still looks like she’s just moved in. But she’s got good friends, her bike, and her bicycling club in Philadelphia. She’s at peace with her plus-size body—at least, most of the time—and she’s on track to marry Mark Medoff, her childhood sweetheart, a man she met at the weight-loss camp that her perpetually dieting mother forced her to attend.

What the critics say
"Listeners hear about the lives of two sisters through a whimsical performance by Ari Graynor and Beth Malone.... Malone and Graynor put the listener in a dreamlike trance during the story's long flashbacks. The sisters' reflections are engaging, with clear expression of the emotions they felt during disappointing situations." (AudioFile Magazine)

Amazing!
This book is so wonderful. The way the book stretches over the narrators lives capturing the love and hate between sisters and families across different over the 20th and 21st centuries is captivating. I would listen to this book over and over again and not get tired of it.

It’s EVERYTHING you love in a great book
‘Maybe I am different. Being different isn’t the worst thing’.
What a spectacular story. It’s about 2 sisters over 70 years. You watch them grow into adulthood and experience EVERYTHING along the way.
‘We lose ourselves, but we find our way back’
‘Would the day ever come when simply doing your best would be enough’
4.5 stars!!!

One of my all time faves from Weiner...
I am a big fan of Jennifer Weiner as an author and as a person.
This happens to be one of my all time favorites of hers. If not my actual favorite. Oh God it was SO good. I usually listen to books while doing chores around the house. I would be sweeping the floor with my headphones on, and responding to stuff that was happening in the book out loud. Like "YES OMG EXACTLY", in response to a characters response. (I am talking about that school play scene). You were IN it. You were feeling the FEELS.
This is just such an incredible story, with very real characters and overall, it is deeply affecting. One of the final lines in the book hit me so hard, I will absolutely never forget it.
Highly recommend this Audible version.

I loved the two narrators and story!
I loved the fact that there are two main characters and each narrator gives a different perspective to the story.
