After Andy's taken back to a doctor and Rachel's sent back to her bed, they think they'll never see each other again.

Who Do You Love

From one of the nation’s most beloved writers, Fly Away Home is an unforgettable story of a mother and two daughters who seek refuge in an old Connecticut beach house. When Sylvie Serfer met Richard Woodruff in law school, she had wild curls, wide hips, and lots of opinions. Decades later, Sylvie has remade herself as the ideal politician’s wife—her hair dyed and straightened, her hippie-chick wardrobe replaced by tailored knit suits. At fifty-seven, she ruefully acknowledges that her job is staying twenty pounds thinner than she was in her twenties and tending to her husband, the senator. Lizzie, the Woodruffs’ younger daughter, is at twenty-four a recovering addict, whose mantra HALT (Hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired?) helps her keep her life under control. Still, trouble always seems to find her. Her older sister, Diana, an emergency room physician, has everything Lizzie failed to achieve—a husband, a young son, the perfect home—and yet she’s trapped in a loveless marriage. With temptation waiting in one of the ER’s exam rooms, she finds herself craving more. After Richard’s extramarital affair makes headlines, the three women are drawn into the painful glare of the national spotlight. Once the press conference is over, each is forced to reconsider her life, who she is and who she is meant to be. Written with an irresistible blend of heartbreak and hilarity, Fly Away Home is an unforgettable story of a mother and two daughters who after a lifetime of distance finally learn to find refuge in one another.

Fly Away Home

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner takes readers into the heart of women’s lives in an unforgettable, timely tale. Jules Strauss is a Princeton senior on a full scholarship who plans on selling her “pedigree” eggs to help save her father from addiction. Annie Barrow, a struggling Pennsylvania housewife, thinks that carrying another woman’s child will help her recover a sense of purpose and will bring in some much-needed cash. India Bishop, thirty-eight (really, forty-three) and recently married to the wealthy Marcus Croft, yearns for a baby for reasons that have more to do with money than with love. When her attempts at pregnancy fail, she turns to Jules and Annie to make her dreams come true. But each of their plans is thrown into disarray when Bettina, Marcus’s privileged daughter, becomes suspicious that her new stepmother is not what she seems... Told with Jennifer Weiner’s trademark wit and sharp observations, Then Came You is a hilarious, tender, and timely tale that explores themes of class and entitlement, surrogacy and charity, the rights of a parent and the measure of a mother.

From Redbook ’s Red-Hot Read series, a short story by the New York Times #1 bestselling author of In Her Shoes and Fly Away Home … “My life is over,” Piper DeWitt thinks to herself, awaiting departure in the overcrowded International Terminal of the Philadelphia airport for an overseas business trip, to romantic Paris no less. She watched as her husband, Tosh, put his own suitcase into the trunk of a taxi the day before. He’d been telling her for months that he wasn’t happy, and though she still wants to believe it is just a phase, after a call to her mother from the Admiral’s Club, she can no longer deny that he’s left her, left their home, left their four-year-old daughter in her mother’s sole care. Piper met Tosh when she was only twenty-two, just the way self help books said she would—when she wasn’t looking. Now at forty, she wonders how, through all those years, they’d gotten to this place in their marriage. When her flight is canceled due to volcanic ash spreading from Iceland across Europe, and when a handsome stranger offers her an invitation to share a cab, she realizes she can take a departure from her own life. And after a day of living like a tourist in her own city, she hopes she can still find her way home…

Together they plan to sneak off to New York City, where Millie hopes to audition for The Next Stage, the TV show she’s sure will rocket her to stardom and free her from the suffocating expectations of her tribe.

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.

Fifteen years after her final summer at Camp Golden Hills, when Abby reconnects with a half-his-size Mark, it feels like the happy ending she’s always wanted. Yet Abby can’t escape the feeling that something isn’t right...or the memories of one thrilling night she spent with a man named Sebastian two years previously. When Abby gets a last-minute invitation to lead a cycling trip from NYC to Niagara Falls, she’s happy to have time away from Mark, a chance to reflect and make up her mind. But things get complicated fast. First, Abby spots a familiar face in the group—Sebastian, the one-night stand she thought she’d never see again. Sebastian is a serial dater who lives a hundred miles away. In spite of their undeniable chemistry, Abby is determined to keep her distance.

Over two weeks and more than seven hundred miles, strangers become friends, hidden truths come to light, a teenage girl with a secret unites the riders in unexpected ways...and Abby is forced to reconsider everything she believes about herself, her mother, and the nature of love.

The Breakaway

"My mother," Joy Shapiro Krushelevansky writes in her diary late one night, "is the most embarrassing person to have ever been born." It's been almost thirteen years since we've last seen Cannie Shapiro, the heroine of Good in Bed, whose journey toward happily-ever-after, and peace with her fractured family and plus-size body, made millions of women the world over laugh, cry, and see themselves on the page. The last decade of Cannie's life has brought some surprises. Her life story, in fictional form, became an unexpected best-seller, and Cannie has since choosen to retreat from fame's fallout, writing science fiction under a pen name. Her daughter, Joy, has descended into the throes of moody adolescence, just in time for her bat mitzvah. Her best friend, Samantha, is looking for love in all the wrong places (specifically, an online dating site called AJew4U.com). Her husband, Peter, has decided that he'd like to have a baby, and the family's first choice for a surrogate is none other than Cannie's flamboyant kid sister. Just when things can't get any worse -- or weirder -- Cannie's long-lost (and largely unlamented) father shows up at her doorstep, and Joy swipes her mother's credit card and heads West in pursuit of the grandfather she's only seen once. Funny and tender, with memorable characters and Weiner's trademark whip-smart dialogue and sharp observations about modern life, Certain Girls is a story about family (biological and chosen), love, loss, and the enduring bonds between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives.

Certain Girls

From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes "a smart, witty fairy tale for grownups" (Maureen Corrigan, NPR). Addie Downs and Valerie Adler will be best friends forever. That’s what Addie believes after Valerie moves across the street when they’re both nine years old. But in the wake of betrayal during their teenage years, Val is swept into the popular crowd, while mousy, sullen Addie becomes her school’s scapegoat. Flash-forward fifteen years. Valerie Adler has found a measure of fame and fortune working as the weathergirl at the local TV station. Addie Downs lives alone in her parents’ house in their small hometown of Pleasant Ridge, Illinois, caring for a troubled brother and trying to meet Prince Charming on the Internet. She’s just returned from Bad Date #6 when she opens her door to find her long-gone best friend standing there, a terrified look on her face and blood on the sleeve of her coat. "Something horrible has happened," Val tells Addie, "and you’re the only one who can help." Best Friends Forever is a grand, hilarious, edge-of-your-seat adventure; a story about betrayal and loyalty, family history and small-town secrets. It’s about living through tragedy, finding love where you least expect it, and the ties that keep best friends together

Best Friends Forever

Readers fell in love with Cannie Shapiro, the smart, sharp-tongued, bighearted heroine of Good in Bed who found her happy ending after her mother came out of the closet, her father fell out of her life, and her ex-boyfriend started chronicling their ex-sex life in the pages of a national magazine. Now Cannie's back. After her debut novel -- a fictionalized (and highly sexualized) version of her life -- became an overnight bestseller, she dropped out of the public eye and turned to writing science fiction under a pseudonym. She's happily married to the tall, charming diet doctor Peter Krushelevansky and has settled into a life that she finds wonderfully predictable -- knitting in the front row of her daughter Joy's drama rehearsals, volunteering at the library, and taking over-forty yoga classes with her best friend Samantha. As preparations for Joy's bat mitzvah begin, everything seems right in Cannie's world. Then Joy discovers the novel Cannie wrote years before and suddenly finds herself faced with what she thinks is the truth about her own conception -- the story her mother hid from her all her life. When Peter surprises his wife by saying he wants to have a baby, the family is forced to reconsider its history, its future, and what it means to be truly happy. Radiantly funny and disarmingly tender, with Weiner's whip-smart dialogue and sharp observations of modern life, Certain Girls is an unforgettable story about love, loss, and the enduring bonds of family.

From a #1 New York Times bestselling author comes her “best book yet” (Philadelphia Inquirer), a “compulsively readable” novel that shows “there’s no doubt Weiner knows how to deliver a certain kind of story, and well” (The New York Times Book Review). Allison Weiss got her happy ending—a handsome husband, an adorable daughter, a job she loves, and the big house in the suburbs. But while waiting in the pediatrician’s office, she opens a magazine to a quiz about addiction and starts to wonder…Is a Percocet at the end of the day really different from a glass of wine? Is it such a bad thing to pop a Vicodin after a brutal Jump & Pump class…or if your husband ignores you? She tells herself that the pills help her make it through her days…but what if her increasing drug use, a habit that’s becoming expensive and hard to hide, is turning into her biggest problem of all? Hailed as “a witty, realistic criticism on the modern age” (Boston Herald), this remarkable story of a woman’s fall into addiction and struggle to find her way back up again is Jennifer Weiner’s most masterful, moving, and celebrated work yet.

All Fall Down

Blockbuster #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner returns with an irresistible story about a young woman trying to make it in Hollywood… At three years old, Ruth Saunders miraculously survives the car crash that takes her parents’ lives on the icy Massachusetts Turnpike. Her eccentric grandmother, who comes out of Florida retirement to care for young Ruth, nurtures her through years of surgeries, feeding her home-cooked meals, dispensing irreverent wisdom, and telling Ruth she’s beautiful, even though her scars will stay with her forever. After college, Ruth pursues her dream of writing to Hollywood, heading west with her grandmother in tow, hoping to make it big in the world of TV. After years of failure and a badly broken heart, Ruth gets The Call—her show has been green-lit. But Ruth’s happy ending is only the beginning, as she struggles with how television gets made: terrified (and terrifying) executives and actresses with their eyes on bigger prizes than Ruthie’s show. Add in an unrequited crush on the man who has been her mentor. Add to that her grandmother’s impending nuptials, and Ruth’s big break might just break her. A rollicking ride on the Hollywood roller coaster, The Next Best Thing is a heartfelt story about a young woman searching for her own happily-ever-after in the land where dreams come true.

Hungry Heart

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Summer and Mrs. Everything channels Shirley Jackson and Stephen King to bring us a chilling tale of an author willing to do anything to revitalize her career. Sarah Vernon has spent twenty years trying to make it as a novelist…and she’s never even come close. None of her novels has sold more than five thousand copies, and she’s never earned enough money to make fiction her full-time job. After her last disappointing publication, Sarah’s agent dumped her, and it seems like her dream is dead. Sarah vows that she’ll do anything for one last shot at the bestseller list. Enter Will Presser. Nicknamed The Viper, Will is a literary agent whose career-making reputation precedes him. A business dinner ends with a nightcap at Will’s apartment—and a night Sarah can’t remember. When she wakes up the next morning, Will says he’s got a plan to make her new book a hit. He sends Sarah off to Elder Island, a summer playground for the rich and famous that empties out between September and May, for her own personal writer’s retreat. He’s left word that Sarah needs complete privacy in order to write, and Sarah’s too bewildered and flattered by Will’s attention to do anything but pack her bags and board the ferry. Alone in an isolated mansion, Sarah’s writing has never come more easily. She spends hours each day lost in a trance, falling into the world of her story. She tries not to worry about the nightmares that plague her…or the mornings she wakes up with dirt on her feet and blood under her fingernails. ​ Everything Will Presser touches becomes a success, and, now, Will Presser has touched me, Sarah thinks. But Elder Island isn’t the pretty summer playground it seems to be, and Sarah’s going to learn that success comes at a cost, and that, whenever you sign a deal, it’s always wise to read the fine print.

Nokkela, surullinen ja suloinen mukaelma Thelmasta ja Louisesta.” – Publishers Weekly Yhdeksänvuotiaana Addie uskoo, että Valerie on hänen paras ystävänsä nyt ja aina. Lukion viimeisenä syksynä side heidän välillään kuitenkin katkeaa, ja koulun jälkeiset vuodet Addie kamppailee perheongelmien kanssa ja syö suruunsa. Viidentoista vuoden hiljaisuuden jälkeen Valerie ilmestyy eräänä iltana Addien ovelle veritahroja vaatteissaan ja pyytää vanhan ystävänsä apua. Alkaa seikkailu ja pakomatka, mutta riittääkö mikään paikkaamaan kerran särkynyttä ystävyyttä? Jennifer Weiner (s. 1970) on yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija, journalisti ja tv-tuottaja. Hänen romaaninsa tunnetaan hersyvästä sanailusta ja herkullisista henkilöhahmoista, ja ne nousevat järjestään The New York Timesin bestsellerlistan kärkeen. Weinerin teoksia on myyty maailmanlaajuisesti yli 11 miljoonaa kappaletta 36 eri maassa. Weiner asuu Philadelphiassa perheensä kanssa. * ”Napakka, komediallinen ja täynnä tunneälyä.” – Bookmarks Magazine

Ikuiset ystävät

Onko paratiisia ilman käärmettä? Hiekkaa varpaiden välissä, auringon lämpö iholla, uusin Weiner kädessä tai korvissa – paras kesäkirja on tässä! Sarah Danhauserin kauhuksi hänen 22-vuotias tytärpuolensa Ruby ilmoittaa avioituvansa korona-aikaisen poikaystävänsä kanssa. Ja mikä pahinta, häät ovat vain kolmen kuukauden päästä suvun isossa rantatalossa Cape Codissa. Tie suureen päivään ei ole kuopaton: yleensä niin itsevarma Ruby huomaa yhä useammin miettivänsä äitiään, joka hylkäsi hänet vauvana. Sarahin veli on toipumassa suuresta surusta ja kyseenalaistaa nyt kaiken elämässään. Rubyn isä puolestaan kantaa suurta salaisuutta, joka paljastuessaan muuttaa kaiken. Kun hääpäivä valkenee, kaikki naamiot on riisuttu, väärinkäsitykset ovat saavuttaneet huippunsa ja salaisuudet tulleet päivänvaloon – nyt voi tapahtua mitä tahansa… ”Kesäparatiisi on niin hyvä, että se tulee olemaan jokaisen rantalukemista tänä kesänä.” – USA Today Jennifer Weinerin (s. 1970) romaaneja on myyty maailmanlaajuisesti yli 11 miljoonaa kappaletta 36 eri maassa. Hänen kirjansa nousevat järjestään ykkösiksi The New York Timesin bestsellerlistalla. Weinerin romaanit ovat täynnä hersyvää sanailua ja herkullisia henkilöhahmoja. Hänellä on taito kertoa kipeistäkin asioista kevyesti. The New York Times on nimittänyt Weinerin "kesäkirjojen kiistattomaksi kuningattareksi". Weiner asuu Philadelphiassa perheensä kanssa.

Kesäparatiisi

”Weinerin terävä äly tekee murhastakin viihdyttävän.” – The Miami Herald Lähiön täydellisten naisten hyvin hoidetun julkisivun takaa paljastuu salaisuuksia, valheita – ja yhteiskunnan vaatimusten kanssa tasapainottelua. Kate Kleinin elämä connecticutilaisessa lähiössä kulkee samoja uuvuttavia ratoja. Kolme alle viisivuotiasta lasta, kotona vain kääntymässä käyvä aviomies ja superäitien seurapiiri, johon ei millään tahdo päästä mukaan. Mutta kun yksi naapuruston äideistä murhataan, Katen mielenkiinto viriää ja hän heittäytyy tutkimuksiin – joka maanantai, keskiviikko ja perjantai kello 8.45-11.30, kun lapset ovat hoidossa. Jennifer Weinerin (s. 1970) romaaneja on myyty maailmanlaajuisesti yli 11 miljoonaa kappaletta 36 eri maassa. Hänen kirjansa nousevat järjestään ykkösiksi The New York Timesin bestsellerlistalla.

Weiner asuu Philadelphiassa perheensä kanssa. * ”Hulvaton… Pakko lukea yhdeltä istumalta.” – Philadephia Enquirer ”Weiner kuvaa briljantisti yhteiskuntaluokkia, henkilöhahmojaan ja lähiötunnelmaa.” – The Washington Post Book World ”2000-luvun Peyton Place, mutta modernimpi, tyylikkäämpi ja hauskempi kuin esikuvansa.” – The Boston Globe ”Rikoksia ja hiekkakakkuja on tulvillaan Weinerin terävää älyä, selkeää proosaa ja pisteliäitä havaintoja.” – The Miami Herald ”Kiehtova murhamysteeri… Weiner panee huumorintajunsa likoon ja luo viihdyttävän lukukokemuksen.” – Newport News ”Ihastuttavan hauska lähiörouvamysteeri.” – Newsday

Rikoksia ja hiekkakakkuja

- Autora best-seller #1 do The New York Times. - 11 milhões de cópias impressas em 36 países. - O livro retrata de forma ácida e divertida os bastidores de Hollywood. Quando Ruth Saunders recebeu o telefonema de uma rede de televisão dizendo que sua série original seria levada ao ar, quase não acreditou. Embora tivesse passado a vida escrevendo, não pensava seriamente que seu roteiro (autobiográfi co), interessaria a alguém. Mas logo Ruth foi acordada de seu sonho. Sua personagem principal, uma mulher cheia de curvas, passa a ser quase anoréxica, e a avó, Nanna, de mulher madura e sofi sticada passa a uma ninfomaníaca da terceira idade. Tendo como cenário a fascinante cidade de Los Angeles, Dias melhores virão é um passeio divertido na montanha-russa chamada Hollywood, uma história sincera sobre uma mulher na terra onde os sonhos podem se tornar realidade. "Weiner coloca sua própria experiência nesta história envolvente sobre uma roteirista que, após seis anos de luta, finalmente conquista um espaço na TV, mas acaba descobrindo que seus problemas estão apenas começando: executivos intrometidos, atores egocêntricos e um chefe terrível e inatingível..." - Time Magazine

Dias melhores virão

Kate já teve uma carreira bem-sucedida em Nova York, mas, depois que se casou e engravidou, mudou-se para um bairro afastado e muito chique e acabou engolida por uma rotina asfixiante. Seu relógio gira em função das crianças e de um marido antes apaixonado e agora ausente e ranzinza, que raramente para em casa. As supermães do playground insistem em esnobá-la. Os dias se passam entre caronas solidárias e intermináveis jogos de montar. À noite, os melhores orgasmos são do tipo "faça você mesma". Com seu humor amargo e seu sofrimento diante do tédio, em poucas páginas já consideramos Kate a nossa melhor amiga. Porém, por mais tempo que Kate passe cuidando da casa e das crianças, ela sabe que nunca vai atingir o estágio de perfeição onde se encontram as outras mães do bairro. As roupas dos filhos delas são sempre mais brancas, sua comida é sempre mais saudável e sua aparência, claro, é impecável. Quando Kate está no auge da autopiedade, um evento acaba com a paz da pacata Upchurch. Uma mãe modelo de perfeição morre em circunstâncias não explicadas, e Kate chega à conclusão de que esse mistério é uma das coisas mais interessantes que já aconteceram em Upchurch, Connecticut, nos últimos tempos. Embora o delegado tenha advertido que a investigação criminal é trabalho para profissionais, Kate se lança em uma apuração paralela dos fatos – das 8h45 às 11h30 às segundas, quartas e sextas, enquanto as crianças estão na creche. À medida que Kate mergulha mais e mais fundo no passado da vítima, ela descobre os segredos e mentiras por trás das cercas brancas de Upchurch – e começa a repensar as escolhas e compromissos de toda mulher moderna ao oscilar entre obrigações e independência, cidades pequenas e metrópoles, ser mãe e não ser. Boa noite, estranho faz rir do começo ao fim, mas deixa um incômodo lembrete piscando em nossa memória: fugir e se omitir diante das escolhas pode ser mais doloroso do que tomar certas decisões.

Boa noite, estranho
