Jennifer Weiner

Allison Weiss is a typical working mother, trying to balance a business, ageing parents, a demanding daughter and a marriage. But when the website she develops becomes a huge success, she finds herself challenged to the point of being completely overwhelmed. As she struggles to hold her life together and meet the needs of all the people around her, Allison finds that the painkillers she was prescribed for a back injury help her deal with more than just physical discomfort - they make her feel calm and get her through the increasingly hectic days. Sure, she worries that the bottles seem to empty a bit faster each week, but it's not like she's some Hollywood starlet partying all night. It's not as if she has an actual problem. Until she ends up in a world she never thought she'd experience outside of a movie theatre: rehab. And as Allison struggles to get her life back on track, she learns a few life lessons along the way. With a sparkling comedic touch and tender, true-to-life characterizations, All Fall Down is a tale of empowerment and redemption and Jennifer Weiner's richest, most absorbing and timely story yet.

Han pasado trece años desde que los lectores de enamoraran de Cannie Shapiro, la heroína elegante que encontró su final feliz después de que su madre saliera del armario, su padre desapareciera de su vida y su ex-novio describiera su anterior vida sexual en las paginas de una revista nacional. Despues del debut de su novela una version de su vida en forma de ficcion (y altamente sexual) que de la noche a la mañana se convirtio en un best-seller, ella desaparecio de la escena publica y comenzo a escribir historias de ciencia-ficcion bajo seudonimo. Esta casada con el encantador doctor Peter Krushelevansky y ha asentado su vida que considera muy previsible haciendo punto en los ensayos de la obra dramatica en la que actua su hija, ejerciendo el voluntariado en una biblioteca y asistiendo a clases de yoga con su amiga Samantha. Pero cuando Peter la sorprende diciendole que quiere tener un bebe, la familia se ve obligada a reconsiderar su historia y que significa realmente ser feliz.

Rose y Maggie son hermanas, pero sólo tienen en común su número de zapato. Rose es abogada, responsable, trabajadora... y tiene un penoso historial en sus relaciones de pareja. Maggie es sexy, alocada, sabe cómo poner a cualquier hombre a sus pies... y su vida profesional es un desastre. Cuando los problemas de Maggie la llevan a refugiarse en casa de su hermana, se suceden los conflictos y surgen viejos reproches dormidos desde la muerte de su madre, cuando ambas eran unas niñas. Mientras, lejos de allí, la anciana Ella decide que quizás ha llegado el momento de recuperar a sus dos nietas, a las que la vida alejó de su lado tantos años atrás. La autora del best-seller Bueno en la cama teje una historia tan divertida como conmovedora, una apuesta por el poder del amor, del perdón y de los lazos familiares. A su medida ha sido llevada al cine en una película protagonizada por Cameron Diaz y Shirley MacLaine.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Summer comes another timely and deliciously twisty novel of intrigue, secrets, and the transformative power of female friendship.

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.

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.
