A review by shayb81
Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner
5.0
“We lose ourselves, but we find our way back.”
This story follows sisters, Jo and Bethie, from their childhood in the 1950s through 2022. Chapters alternate between each sister and highlight so many milestones that women go through and also historical moments and culture from those time periods.
This book is especially relevant in today’s culture and the #metoo movement. This book realistically portrays the closed-mindedness of America’s past and the growth that has occurred in a generation. From not having a word for childhood molestation to high-level executives finally being stripped from their positions of power, this book covers the many abuses woman have faced while leaving a feeling of hope for the future. This book also covers some of the discriminations of gays and African Americans during this time period.
I was skeptical when I saw early reviews of Mrs. Everything that touted it as Jennifer Weiner’s best yet, but after reading it, I have to say that I agree.
