Jennifer Weiner is many things: a bestselling author, a Twitter phenomenon, and an “unlikely feminist enforcer” (The New Yorker). She’s also a mom, a daughter, and a sister, a clumsy yogini, and a reality-TV devotee. In this “unflinching look at her own experiences” (Entertainment Weekly), Jennifer fashions tales of modern-day womanhood as uproariously funny and moving as the best of Nora Ephron and Tina Fey.
No subject is off-limits in these intimate and honest essays: sex, weight, envy, money, her mother’s coming out of the closet, her estranged father’s death. From lonely adolescence to hearing her six-year-old daughter say the F word—fat—for the first time, Jen dives into the heart of female experience, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to readers all over the world.
I am a HUGE fan of Jennifer Weiner. Her book GOOD IN BED was the one book that turned me into a reader. That is something I have always wanted to thank her personally for. What a gift she has given me. In Hungry Heart, I was once again transfixed. I escaped into the book and enjoyed every minute of it. It was very hard to put down. Her stories were honest, funny and fiercely brave. I laughed, was moved to tears and was in awe of Weiner's ability to write in a way that was so easy to relate to. She, again, has paved the way for woman!!! Her grace and ability to touch the soul of her readers is what makes her so likeable. I am such a huge fan and I HIGHLY recommend this book and ALL of her others as well!!!
Jennifer Weiner is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of fourteen books, including Good in Bed, The Littlest Bigfoot, and her memoir Hungry Heart: Adventures in Life, Love, and Writing. A graduate of Princeton University and contributor to the New York Times Opinion section, Jennifer lives with her family in Philadelphia. Visit her online at JenniferWeiner.com
