by Jennifer Weiner
Sylvie Woodruff has it all - a senator husband, two grown daughters, a judge mother, and all the privileges she spent her life building. Until the media discovers her husband had an affair with a young staffer and got her a job. As Sylvie's life quickly unravels, she retreats to her childhood vacation home in Connecticut. Joined later by her daughters, Sylvie and her daughters slowly put back together the lives that had so recently fallen apart.
What more can I say about Jennifer Weiner's books? Her characters feel like friends by the time the story is over. I usually read her books in a matter of days - in this case, one day - because I cannot put her books down and then am sad when it's done. This one was a little different because the main character, Sylvie, is older than the characters Weiner usually writes, but still superbly done. If you've ever seen a politician standing up admitting an affair and wonder how his wife can stand there next to him, Weiner takes you inside the life of that wife and shows you what she's thinking.
As always, a great book by Jennifer Weiner.
