Jennifer Weiner
The short story that inspired Jennifer Weinerâ€™s novel ,The Next Best Thing,.,Ruth has left her job writing for a hit television show for reasons sheâ€™d rather not discuss and is supplementing her increasingly dwindling savings with freelance writing projectsâ€”namely, helping anxious high school students craft a perfect college essay and lonely souls craft captivating online dating profiles. When sheâ€™s not working, sheâ€™s swimmingâ€”lap after lap at the local indoor pool, in a desperate attempt to wash away the sting of professional failure and heartbreak that she canâ€™t seem to shake. It takes an unexpected client to show her that appearances can be deceiving, and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply dive back in.
