Thank you to Atria Books for the opportunity to preview this book and provide an early review.

Jennifer Weiner, this is a shift from your other books and I like it - I like it a lot!

Mrs. Everything is a story of sisterhood, but also two strong individual stories. Jo and Bethie (at first I wondered if I had stumbled into a Little Women revamp) are two women who travel very different journeys over their lifetime - sisters who are very different but come from the same place and are thus bound together by love. The book covers an interesting arc of time and we see a lot of changes in treatment of women, sexuality, identity...

Trust me, you're going to want to read this. I recommend a reading binge over a weekend with some tea or wine and a lap blanket.

Thank you to NetGalley, Jennifer Weiner and Atria Books for this AMAZING ARC.

"We lose ourselves, but we find our way back."

I have been a Jennifer Weiner fan since "Good In Bed", and this - by far - is my favorite book. Eighteen years later (has it really been that long??), Jennifer Weiner is still a fantastic author that can weave stories and suck the reader in like no tomorrow. I can't express how much I loved this book. Both Jo and Bethie are fantastic characters, and your heart aches for them as they go through life and all the problems life throws at them.

Did I say how much I loved this book? I absolutely did. It's been four years since the last Jennifer Weiner book came out and (in my honest opinion) this one was well worth the wait.

Five freaking stars all around.

I was initially delighted to be chosen to read an advanced copy of Jennifer Weiner’s latest book. It was certainly not her best book. It was very long and drawn out. Too many generations interduced, without a good sequence. I did enjoy the early part of the book, I found myself skimming through the last third of the book. Mrs. Everything lacked the humor of her previous novels. I found her characters lacking, and the plot all over the place. I will say, due to her previous novels, this will probably end up on the Best Sellers List.

I finished Mrs. Everything last night and it was incredible. I loved the relationships and the amazing (and sometimes painful)issues that were covered. Weiners writing is always so relatable and raw and she is just such a gifted storyteller.

Mrs. Everything covers the life of two sisters, Jo and Bethie, as they struggle to find their place and identity in an ever-changing America. This would make an amazing book club discussion and I can't wait to discuss further as we get closer to it's June publication date.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ambitious and thoughtful, MRS EVERYTHING builds its emotional powerhouse from an irresistible portrait of two young women--two sisters--and paints a vivid and poignant canvas as it follows their lives. A novel with multiple rewards for the reader.

I enjoy Jennifer Weiner's books. I thought I read ALL of her books, I now see that I missed some - I will be looking for these other books.

"Journey through history - and herstory-" with 2 sisters... I want to --no I HAVE to read this one!
It has been 4 years since her last book, I have been anxiously waiting!
Now to receive her longest book, that covers the most time ... I AM EXCITED!!!

Then, I start reading the opening page... the Breast Cancer descriptions took my breath away.
Travel back to the 1950s, one sister is a tomboy where the mom doesn't understand; the other sister loved being a girl. Then begin traveling through time through segregation/integration, protests ...through the 60s; Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Protesting the Wars ...through the 70s; through relationships, school, mother issues, each wanting approval and love and to be stronger. One so hurt through many painful experiences she puts on weight to keep men away. One sister is liberated/free; the other is in chains/bondage.

I am so in love with this book, I cant keep my thoughts straight on this, I will try to get my thoughts more organized, but I think everyone should read this book.

You will become a part of this family, you will cheer, you will scream, you will feel your heart pull!

Wow. What a novel! This is my first Jennifer Weiner and I am not a huge fan. Of late, I've been drawn to books featuring sisters, as I never had one myself. This title did not disappoint. I loved the relationship between Jo and Bethie and how they faced things that are, unfortunately, still relevant today. It was a wonderful read and I can't wait to share it with my patrons.

Mrs. Everything is a book that follows two sisters’ lives from the 1950s to 2016 as they struggle to find their places in a rapidly evolving world. It starts in the 1950's when they move to a suburb of Detroit to live the American dream. Their parents are the children of Russian, Jewish immigrants and all they want is for their family to be like everyone else. Jo has never wanted to be like everyone unless, that is until she loses her courage. Bethie is the perfect daughter her parents hoped for until tragedy strikes and leaves her in a situation she shouldn't have been in. The two sisters try their best, but that doesn't mean they live a life without any regrets.

Is it perfectly acceptable to cry the entire final two chapters of a book? Even if it's not, I absolutely did as I finished Mrs. Everything. As a reader there are certain things I look for in a book and Mrs. Everything delivered them all, I felt connected to the characters, it provoked so much emotion, and it was realistic. As Jennifer Wiener took us through the lives of Jo and Bethie Kaufman, I felt like I was there with them as they made mistakes growing up and discovered who they truly were. This book touched on so many different family dynamics that an average person may struggle with and that allows you to be able to identify with both Jo and Bethie. While it's so hard to review this book without spoilers, all I can say is do yourself a favor and read it. Once this book releases I can definitely see myself recommending to everyone.

Thank You @Netgally and @Atria for a Digital ARC of this book. All opinions are my own and I absolutely loved this book.

I've read all of Jennifer Weiner's novels with some mixed reviews, but after reading her memoir last fall, I feel like I understand her better. I was eager to get a hold of this new book, and I was not disappointed. There was some real depth - particularly regarding the evolving role of women and their available opportunities through the decades. I resonated with that theme the most. I think Jo might be her most authentic character to date. Gay or straight, I see her in so many women I've known throughout my life. Bethie remained a little out of touch for me at times, as it seemed like she was more than one character, living a few lives.

Let us never degrade our sisters' works as "chick lit." Weiner is an author whose voice has legitimacy, and this book proves that. I know the book hasn't come out yet, but I already look forward to what comes next.

This was my honest opinion, and I'm grateful to NetGalley for providing me an advanced reader copy.

Jennifer Weiner, you have truly outdone yourself with this one.

Having read every single one of Weiner's books, it's safe to say that I was reallllllllllly waiting impatiently for her to release new fiction (it's been four years since Who Do You Love was released). Well, I can truly say it was worth the wait.

Mrs. Everything is the story of Jo and Bethie, over their entire lifetime - sisters who are as different as they come but the most important person in the world to the other. This is the story of the lives of two Jewish women who grew up in a confusing time as descendants of immigrants in Philadelphia. This is the story of love, family, self-discovery, exploration, friendship, relationships and what it means to be yourself.

I cannot recommend this book enough, Bravo, Jennifer Weiner.

Thank you to Atria for an advance copy. All opinions are my own.

What an absolute delight this book was from start to finish. Warm, full of love and empathy, and enough plot twists to keep me glued. A very realistic portrayal of what transpires between sisters--and families. Jo was a window into a generation I don't know much about. Can't wait to recommend this to everyone I know.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book. Mrs Everything follows the story of two sisters from their childhood into adulthood. The story goes through what it was to be a woman throughout the twentieth century. Overall, I enjoyed reading this story. I felt like some parts of the story dragged, but I was also disappointed to finish the book. I realize that this is an ARC, so I just wanted to point out that Salmon Rushdie's name is spelled incorrectly.

Jennifer Weiner does it again with her captivating and riveting new novel, Mrs. Everything. Deemed as a novel that stretches from the Me Generation to #MeToo, I found myself swept away into the Kaufman sisters’ world. This ambitious novel follows their lives - from growing up in a changing Detroit to starting their own families, apart from each other. Jo and Bethie (a nod to Little Women?!?) are different as can be, but the love of sisters is fierce. We see their lives challenged by heartbreak and the expectations of society, and we are left to wonder if all wounds can be forgiven. This is a story that will stick. It’s about sisterhood and legacy - the families we are given and the ones we create. It’s release date is 6/11/19.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

Well, she does it again, possibly even better than ever; Jennifer Weiner’s “Mrs Everything” covers a gamut of societal & generational issues with astounding aplomb & engagement. Race, homosexuality, women’s rights..... these & more are all covered with skill & a deftness only an author of this level could attain, all while keeping you wanting to turn those pages. Set aside some time, y’all.... you’re not gonna be able to stop once you start!
Thanks to netgalley & atria books for this delightful opportunity!

The review below contains potential spoilers.

The latest novel by Jennifer Weiner is a family saga that follows two sisters, Jo and Bethie, from their childhoods in the '50s to the current time. As usual, Weiner's characters are vivid and easy to root for, and the story - particularly the first 2/3 - is a page turner. I found the book extremely readable, but as it progressed, it felt like every imaginable life challenge was faced by at least one of these girls: untimely death of a parent, struggles with gay identity, childhood molestation, family tension, betrayal, rape, drug use, unplanned pregnancy, single parenthood, divorce, cancer, and so on. That said, the characters, their relationships and choices over the years kept me engaged, and I would recommend this book, though it is not one of my favorites by the author. 3-3/4 stars from me, with thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book. I have read all of Jennifer Weiner's books and this is definitely one of the better ones. I liked how it followed Jo and her sister Bethie from childhood through older age. The story was almost secondary to the character development. Sometimes it's actually more interesting to watch characters evolve than to get bogged down in what they're actually doing.

Wiener has written an extraordinary novel, which manages to explore the growth of feminism within the lives of two sisters, Jo and Bethie. I love this novel, I was totally mesmerized from the first page. I love the fact that I grew up when they did. I love the reminders of Little Women. I love the reference to the Frost poem, THE ROAD NOT TAKEN. I found myself often reflecting on these clues that foreshadowed much of the novel that followed.

These women lived the quintessential story of those of us who grew to adulthood in the 20th century and our role in the changes lthat women’s lives have taken. This is remarkably a woman’s novel, in the most beautiful sense of this genre. All of Weiner’s exemplars are women, from Sarah and her daughters to each child in the next generations, all female, all struggling with the issues of motherhood, career, marriage and sexuality.

Setting the story during the moments of radical change in the lives of women is brilliantly done. Weiner manages to weave in every great landmark in HERSTORY as part of the lives of Jo and a Bethie. From the trauma of abortion, the horror of rape, the fear of homosexuality, the molestation of girls and women by male bosses and relatives,; there is simply nothing that is omitted. Yet, this is a compulsively readable novel, by no means preachy.

I cannot wait to recommend this to Women’s Studies seminars and to book groups. There is so much to discuss, debate, and for many of us in this generation, to remember.

Thank you NETGALLEY and Jennifer Weiner for the privilege of reading what will certainly be one of the years’ finest novels.

Adore this book!! Very well written and story laid out. I feel that people are going to be able to relate to the characters and their issues they are having. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a face paced story that will make one think.

An enjoyable family saga. The characters were flawed, yet relatable, the story was compelling, and the ending was fulfilling.

I am a long time fan of Jennifer Weiner and I was super excited to get to read her newest book, Mrs, Everything.

This novel follows two sisters, Jo and Bethie, who are from Detroit and grow up in the mid 20th century and follow their lives until current day.

I should start this review by saying that if you're looking for a super twisty dark tale this isn't it. However, if you are looking for an epic family saga with the natural twists and turns that come in life, this is your book. It was such a lovely story to cozy up with and I will miss all of these characters now that their story is complete.

My only slight quibble is that I felt the ending was a bit rushed after the slower pace through the rest of the story.

Than you to Atria books and NetGalley for the eARC novel in exchange for my honest review.
