Certain Girls (Cannie Shapiro #2)
by Jennifer Weiner (Goodreads Author)
by Jennifer Weiner (Goodreads Author)
A long coming sequel to another Weiner book, whose name is escaping me at this moment, which I read years ago and I liked, even if parts of it were a little far-fetched. Anyway, this book is about the Girl and her Daughter and told from their points of view, alternating chapters. The Daughter is in her bat mitzvah year and some of the ways she was written, just seemed a little old. Now if the Daughter was like 16, this book would have made more sense, but as a 12/13 year old? The dialogue was written the same as the Girl (old) and the situations were like so not 12/13. But since that age is such a changing year, I guess that is why the author picked it. But it was a little out of the Daughters league. The Girl parts were okay too. Not as funny as the first book, but still okay. Both girls, still with the daddy issues and there was a nice little twist at the end that I did NOT see coming and I won't ruin it here as I didn't mind this book too much. Don't run and buy, but for free, why not. This author also has a pretty good track record with stuff I like.
