Publisher's summary
The eagerly-awaited follow-up to Jennifer Weiner's blockbuster best seller, Good in Bed
Listeners fell in love with Cannie Shapiro, the smart, sharp-tongued, bighearted heroine of Good in Bed. Now Cannie's back. After her debut novel - a fictionalized (and highly sexualized) version of her life - became an overnight bestseller, she dropped out of the public eye and turned to writing science fiction under a pseudonym. She's happily married and has settled into a life that's wonderfully predictable.
As preparations for her daughter Joy's bat mitzvah begin, everything seems right in Cannie's world. Then Joy discovers the novel Cannie wrote years before and suddenly finds herself faced with what she thinks is the truth about her own conception - the story her mother hid from her all her life. When Cannie's husband surprises her by saying he wants to have a baby, the family is forced to reconsider their history, their future, and what it means to be truly happy.
Radiantly funny and tender, with Weiner's whip-smart dialogue and sharp observations of modern life, Certain Girls is an unforgettable story about love, loss, and the enduring bonds of family.

Spoiler alert
I was not prepared for the tale of loss in this book and almost stopped listening. (Insert sobbing emoji). Overall it was a good story and well written. The narrator for Joy sounded like an adult trying to talk in baby talk, which was annoying.

Loved it!
I'm a huge fan of the author and it was so nice to see this familiar character show up again in this story. Heartbreakingly lovely.

it was ok
I loved the first book, so had high expectations for this follow up. I struggled to see the point and correlate the title to the story. but I loved Cannie's humor and perseverance, hated the brat of thr daughter. the ending was a bummer.
