Sheâ€™s also a mom, a daughter, and a sister; a former rower and current cyclist; a best friend and a reality TV junkie.

From lonely adolescence to modern childbirth to hearing her six-year-old daughterâ€™s use of the f-wordâ€”,fat,Â­Â­â€”for the first time, Jennifer Weiner ,goes there,, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to readers all over the world.,By turns hilarious and deeply touching, this collection shows that the woman behind treasured novels like ,Good in Bed ,and ,Best Friends Forever ,is every bit as winning, smart, and honest in real life as she is in her fiction.
