Jennifer Weiner, THAT SUMMER

Zibby did a Facebook Live with bestselling author Jennifer Weiner to celebrate the launch of her latest summer read, That Summer. Jen recently lost both her mother and her father-in-law. She and Zibby discussed the illness, how blindsided she was by its speed and ferocity, how she’s managing a book launch through it all, and the parts of their mental make-ups they’d prefer their daughters didn’t inherit.

Jennifer Weiner, MRS. EVERYTHING

Jennifer: Mrs. Everything is the story of two Jewish American sisters from the 1940s all the way through the present and slightly beyond into a lightly fictionalized future where there's a woman president. It’s the story of these two women. There's the rebel and the good girl, who sort of switch places halfway through the book. Through their eyes and through their experiences, it’s the story of women in America. That's what I was setting out to do. I wanted to tell a sister story and a woman story and an American story, a story about America. That's what I hope I did. I hope it’s a great, big, fun juicy beach read too.
