The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits

A Novel

De: Jennifer Weiner

Narrado por: Dakota Fanning

Hollywood star Dakota Fanning narrates the audio of one of the most anticipated books of the year, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner.

A captivating story filled with heart, humor, secrets, and second chances, about two sisters’ incredible journey and a daughter’s quest to reunite her family.

Cassie and Zoe Grossberg were once as dependent on each other as sisters could be, but it’s been two decades since they’ve spoken. As a pop sensation in their early twenties, the sisters experienced the ultimate highs of celebrity, until they were driven apart one terrible night. Now, in their early forties, Zoe is a suburban mom in New Jersey, and Cassie is living alone, off-grid in Alaska. Zoe’s teenage daughter Cherry is desperate to bring the women back together—and unearth the truth behind their estrangement. As long-buried secrets surface, Cassie and Zoe are forced to confront their past choices and betrayals and decide whether they can be open to forgiveness and reclaiming the strength of their sisterhood.

Written with Jennifer Weiner’s signature humor and warm voice, The Griffin Sisters’ Greatest Hits is a fun, heartfelt, “shimmering story” (Woman’s World) that celebrates the essence of family: the ties that bind, the events that shape us, and the love that, despite all odds, brings us back to each other. This is Jennifer Weiner at her absolute best.

Amazing and captivating

I loved every minute of it. It was wonderful. As I said in the title, it was amazing and captivating and it touched on every emotion.

I never knew

What the ending might be for this complicated story of the passions of its also complicated main characters. It wasn’t the ending that I hoped for, but Weiner’s ending was the right one

Beautiful. Moving. Memorable.

I was captivated from the start. The characters, relationships, heartache and redemption in brokenness kept me enthralled. A wonderful read!

Dakota’s read, Jennifer’s story

I loved this book. Jennifer Weiner writes of pain and suffering and love and loss and redemption and recovery. In The Griffin Sisters’ Greatest Hits, these themes blend into yet another best seller. I won’t give anything away, except to say, the final sentence is perfection.

Dakota Fanning’s read was also perfection. She brings this story to life and gives life to the story. Brilliant!

Outstanding

Dakota Fanning is a fantastic narrator and this story is very thoughtful. Yes, I imagine women don’t want the children they have, but they make the best of it. It rightly shows the gifts that come with being different. And how love and family can be resilient. It beautifully shows greatness that can follow an authentic apology. I loved it.

Great book

Best Jennifer Weiner book I've read/listened to. Loved Dakota Fanning's narration. Sad I'm finished.

Unfortunately, unrealistic in one crucial area

Unfortunately, in one particular area of the main character, Cassie.
It just doesn’t make sense if she was sequestered away for 20 years and depriving herself of all comforts of life, (including comforting foods) according to Cherry when she came to visit and was served the foods that she was served, it just doesn’t make sense that Cassie didn’t lose some weight. Working in the weight-loss industry for over 25 years I know if you go on a self imposed strict diet like Cassie seems, to deny herself “joy”, to be on that lifestyle diet she would’ve lost. Just because the author made such a point of making her always be fat. She could’ve at least given her that…a weight loss. She still might’ve been dark and brooding and maybe she wasn’t very attractive, but she still would’ve lost weight. She wouldn’t have had to wear caftans…
As far as the narrator, though I like Dakota Fanning, her narrative was dark and brooding throughout the whole book when there are times that she could’ve used different inflections to make it more light and fun.
That’s all…

Sisterhood

The growth of the sisters from the beginning of the story to the love at the end of the story is most heartwarming.

Immensely enjoyable audiobook!

Immensely enjoyable, epic book, well written by a fabulous author, cleverly told in the perspectives of multiple characters & beautifully narrated by a very actress

Good story

I found it entertaining and I could relate to some of it, as being a female singer & guitarist that has been in bands.
