Jennifer Weiner recommends

Conversations with the Fat Girl (2005)
Liza Palmer
"Engaging and poignant and heartbreakingly real, Liza Palmer's tale of best friends, true love, and just what size happily-ever-after wears is a winning conversation."

Love Walked in (2005)
(Love Walked in, book 1)
Marisa de los Santos
"A bewitching, warmhearted grown-up fairy tale about old movies, charming princes, and finding happily ever after in the place where you'd least expect it."

Sweet Ruin (2006)
Cathi Hanauer
"Compulsively readable... Hanauer has a poet's eye for detail and a spot-on sense of the specifics of mothering in the suburbs."

The Opposite of Me (2010)
Sarah Pekkanen
"Fresh and funny and satisfying. A terrific book about sisters that actually made me laugh out loud."

A Pug's Tale (2011)
(Pug Hill, book 2)
Alison Pace
"I adored Pug Hill... I can't remember when I've seen such sensetive and funny writing about dogs."

The Restaurant Critic's Wife (2016)
Elizabeth LaBan
"Compulsively readable and richly detailed, a guilt-free treat that will have you devouring every word."

And We're Off (2017)
Dana Schwartz
"A winsome, hilarious tale about losing the map and finding a better way to a happy ending. I loved it!."

With Teeth (2021)
Kristen Arnett
"A darkly funny, brutally honest story about a woman undone by motherhood. Kristen Arnett grapples with the big questions: Is any child essentially unlovable? What does a happy ending look like? With Teeth digs in deep and doesn’t let go. I truly loved it."
