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 to the tall, charming diet doctor Peter Krushelevansky and has settled into a life that she finds wonderfully predictable -- knitting in the front row of her daughter Joy's drama rehearsals, volunteering at the library, and taking over-forty yoga classes with her best friend Samantha. As preparations for 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 Peter surprises his wife by saying he wants to have a baby, the family is forced to reconsider its history, its future, and what it means to be truly happy. Radiantly funny and disarmingly 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.",2008,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2597ads9g9rk02fs9h01xw.jpg?v=679c0df63d","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx2594kf2yk6x77wgfm0axmt.png?v=1ec461c932","L8SY{q_3~qt7D%M{t7Rj00Rj-;IU",0,400,455,"complete",false,true,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":7},"01kr6ej2eh8xgqx0t6kawqmtys","jennifer-weiner-niyf","Jennifer Weiner","author",[27,31],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[],[],[38,42,46],{"id":39,"name":40,"type":41},"01kjq6wyetsw6tpbsv85znafm0","Literary","subject",{"id":43,"name":44,"type":45},"01kkw43tvpdv9vw8315yz3xk78","Women","place",{"id":47,"name":48,"type":41},"01kjq809wxhwax5nz1qdvefv9k","Family Life",[],[51,64,72,78],{"id":52,"title":53,"edition_name":7,"format":54,"format_label":55,"page_count":56,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":57,"cover_url":58,"cover_blurhash":59,"isbn_13":60,"asin":7,"publisher":61,"language":10,"quality_score":62,"submission_status":63},"01kx259819ckafzvw0xv5p3pww","Certain Girls A Novel","paperback","Paperback",496,"2016-10-25","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx259819ckafzvw0xv5p3pww.jpg?v=13f2a69637","LFFr@kR.004mx^D%-qM_00Mw_4x[","9781501153303","Simon & Schuster",10,"approved",{"id":65,"title":53,"edition_name":7,"format":54,"format_label":55,"page_count":66,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":67,"cover_url":68,"cover_blurhash":69,"isbn_13":70,"asin":7,"publisher":71,"language":10,"quality_score":62,"submission_status":63},"01kx2594ks589r6jevnfr05tre",416,"2009-04-07","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2594ks589r6jevnfr05tre.jpg?v=396d5dc3fc","L1K_d#04~p?w.0Di-;Rj00M_IUkD","9780743294263","Washington Square Press",{"id":73,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":74,"format_label":75,"page_count":66,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":76,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":77,"asin":7,"publisher":61,"language":10,"quality_score":62,"submission_status":63},"01kx2597ads9g9rk02fs9h01xw","unknown","Unknown","2008-09-04","9781847375162",{"id":79,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":80,"format_label":81,"page_count":82,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":83,"cover_url":84,"cover_blurhash":7,"isbn_13":85,"asin":7,"publisher":61,"language":10,"quality_score":62,"submission_status":63},"01kx2594kxf3w63j9n1mkqza89","kindle","Kindle",384,"2008-04-08","https:\u002F\u002Fimages.isbndb.com\u002Fcovers\u002F9466113482692.jpg","9781416561279",{"summary":7,"pace":87,"complexity":88,"complexity_score":89,"audience":90,"mood":91,"themes":94,"setting_period":7,"content_warnings":95},"moderate","light",1,"adult",[92,93],"funny","heartwarming",[],[96,97],"sexual-content","substance-abuse",{"id":73,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":74,"format_label":75,"page_count":66,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"publish_date":76,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":77,"asin":7,"publisher":61,"language":10},[],"2026-07-09T00:43:41.000000Z",[102,125,146,178,203,225,245,267,288,308],{"id":103,"slug":104,"title":105,"description":106,"primary_cover_url":107,"cover_blurhash":108,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":109,"community_rating_count":89,"page_count":110,"authors":111,"genres":116,"series":119,"enrichment":120},"01kx299cxwsgbg7szj6a3ehman","belong-to-me-ggcb","Belong to Me","“Marisa de los Santos’s Belong to Me is my favorite discovery of the past years: a terrific page-turner that’s also poignant, funny, surprising and deeply heartfelt.” —Harlan Coben “Complex, engaging, and surprisingly moving.” —Boston Globe The sensational New York Times bestseller from Marisa de los Santos, Belong to Me is a gift for readers, an enchanting, luminous novel about the accidents, both big and small, that affect our choice of friend, lover, and spouse.

Do we change or does the world change us? Jo and Bethie Kaufman were born into a world full of promise. Growing up in 1950s Detroit, they live in a perfect “Dick and Jane” house, where their roles in the family are clearly defined. Jo is the tomboy, the bookish rebel with a passion to make the world more fair; Bethie is the pretty, feminine good girl, a would-be star who enjoys the power her beauty confers and dreams of a traditional life. But the truth ends up looking different from what the girls imagined. Jo and Bethie survive traumas and tragedies. As their lives unfold against the background of free love and Vietnam, Woodstock and women’s lib, Bethie becomes an adventure-loving wild child who dives headlong into the counterculture and is up for anything (except settling down). Meanwhile, Jo becomes a proper young mother in Connecticut, a witness to the changing world instead of a participant. Neither woman inhabits the world she dreams of, nor has a life that feels authentic or brings her joy. Is it too late for the women to finally stake a claim on happily ever after? In her most ambitious novel yet, Jennifer Weiner tells a story of two sisters who, with their different dreams and different paths, offer answers to the question: How should a woman be in the world?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2b3ws1dseth1ra29q7e4nc.jpg?v=ddf4d68421","LMN$.?}Q}7V?].K7IVxXrqRWt7V?",2019,480,[318],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24},[320,321],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":87,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":324,"themes":325,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[174,200],[326,176],"dual-timeline",[328,461,589],{"key":329,"params":330,"works":331},"genre_year",{"genre":29,"year":9},[332,342,372,393,419,442],{"id":103,"slug":104,"title":105,"description":106,"primary_cover_url":107,"cover_blurhash":108,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":109,"community_rating_count":89,"page_count":110,"authors":333,"genres":335,"series":338,"enrichment":339},[334],{"id":113,"slug":114,"name":115},[336,337],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":87,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":340,"themes":341,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[122,123],[],{"id":343,"slug":344,"title":345,"description":346,"primary_cover_url":347,"cover_blurhash":348,"first_publish_year":349,"community_rating_avg":109,"community_rating_count":89,"page_count":350,"authors":351,"genres":356,"series":366,"enrichment":367},"01kx27011m584a6612znchs0t6","13-little-blue-envelopes-mlrc","13 Little Blue Envelopes","Inside little blue envelope 1 are $1,000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket.

But it's what she leaves unsaid--she's alone, a drinker, a former artist, a shrieker in bed, captain of the sinking ship that is her flesh--that feels the most true. Everyone around her seems to have an entirely different idea of what it means to be an adult: her best friend, Indigo, is getting married; her brother--who miraculously seems unscathed by their shared tumultuous childhood--and sister-in-law are having a hoped-for baby; and her friend Matthew continues to wholly devote himself to making dark paintings at the cost of being flat broke. But when Andrea's niece finally arrives, born with a heartbreaking ailment, the Bern family is forced to reexamine what really matters. Will this drive them together or tear them apart? Told in gut-wrenchingly honest, mordantly comic vignettes, All Grown Up is a breathtaking display of Jami Attenberg's power as a storyteller, a whip-smart examination of one woman's life, lived entirely on her own terms.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23gxh3tdyhq0n7a66hq3vp.jpg?v=a14ecf8b03","LMJR8S00nN$^00ITx]R.~7xa-pNL",2017,224,[497],{"id":498,"slug":499,"name":500},"01kvrc6wt56j2he158zpmbft8g","jami-attenberg-oz4g","Jami Attenberg",[502,506],{"id":503,"name":504,"slug":505,"is_fiction":19},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":87,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":509,"themes":510,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[92,123],[176,202],{"id":512,"slug":513,"title":514,"description":515,"primary_cover_url":516,"cover_blurhash":517,"first_publish_year":518,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":295,"authors":519,"genres":521,"series":524,"enrichment":525},"01kx23cmftkhzgxy072yxpj275","big-summer-uouy","Big Summer","AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Sexy and satisfying, Big Summer is the perfect quarantine read.” —USA TODAY “The beach read to end all beach reads.” —Entertainment Weekly “Big fun, and then some. It’s empowering and surprising—a reminder to put down the phone and enjoy each moment for what it is.” —The Washington Post A deliciously funny, remarkably poignant, and simply unputdownable novel about the power of friendship, the lure of frenemies, and the importance of making peace with yourself through all life’s ups and downs. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever, Big Summer is the perfect escape with one of the most lovable heroines to come to the page in years. Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn’t spoken one word to Drue in all this time—she doesn’t even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media—so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless. Drue was always the one who had everything—except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne’s no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She’s built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend’s siren song. A sparkling novel about the complexities of female relationships, the pitfalls of living out loud and online, and the resilience of the human heart, Big Summer is a witty, moving story about family, friendship, and figuring out what matters most.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23cqcdwmwt79685qn809qt.jpg?v=fb7c788486","L8Ss50?b~q?b-;j[xuj[_3ayIUj[",2020,[520],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24},[522,523],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":171,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":526,"themes":527,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[92,174],[392],{"id":529,"slug":530,"title":531,"description":532,"primary_cover_url":533,"cover_blurhash":534,"first_publish_year":535,"community_rating_avg":109,"community_rating_count":89,"page_count":536,"authors":537,"genres":539,"series":542,"enrichment":543},"01kx257hh0ccnjxza4fxhvmmtr","little-earthquakes-3dtt","Little Earthquakes","A \"tale of love, heartbreak, redemption, and friendship ...

There, she takes over her beloved Gran's knitting shop -- a quaint but out-of-date store in desperate need of a facelift. After a rough beginning, Jo soon finds comfort in a \"Stitch and Bitch\" group; a collection of quirky, lively women who share their stories, and their addiction to cake, with warmth and humor.

She watched as her husband, Tosh, put his own suitcase into the trunk of a taxi the day before. He’d been telling her for months that he wasn’t happy, and though she still wants to believe it is just a phase, after a call to her mother from the Admiral’s Club, she can no longer deny that he’s left her, left their home, left their four-year-old daughter in her mother’s sole care. Piper met Tosh when she was only twenty-two, just the way self help books said she would – when she wasn’t looking. Now at forty, she wonders how, through all those years, they’d gotten to this place in their marriage. When her flight is canceled due to volcanic ash spreading from Iceland across Europe, and when a handsome stranger offers her an invitation to share a cab, she realizes she can take a departure from her own life. And after a day of living like a tourist in her own city, she hopes she can still find her way home…","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23smbv524ch5v101trzgj1.jpg?v=0ccef892f6","L9QcFVqG#6?bud%W-TR88we8j{og",[601],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24},[603,604,605],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":606,"name":607,"slug":608,"is_fiction":19},142,"Short Stories","short-stories",[],{"pace":87,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":611,"themes":612,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[122,144],[392,177],{"id":614,"slug":615,"title":616,"description":617,"primary_cover_url":618,"cover_blurhash":619,"first_publish_year":252,"community_rating_avg":154,"community_rating_count":89,"page_count":363,"authors":620,"genres":625,"series":628,"enrichment":629},"01kx23exw152pdepnjefergk0n","fly-away-playaway-firefly-lane-bk-2-hqdj","Fly Away Playaway Firefly Lane Bk. 2","Fly away is the story of three women who have lost their way and need each other-- plus a miracle-- to transform their lives.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23exwew20cqxs9kh6njyeb.jpg?v=b8628e2561","LsP6Enui+u%#%3ozWAR*%LjsIVWB",[621],{"id":622,"slug":623,"name":624},"01kjstbt2etnamk8rhspqrt6wm","kristin-hannah-fmra","Kristin Hannah",[626,627],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":87,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":630,"themes":631,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[200,144],[],{"id":633,"slug":634,"title":635,"description":636,"primary_cover_url":637,"cover_blurhash":638,"first_publish_year":210,"community_rating_avg":109,"community_rating_count":89,"page_count":639,"authors":640,"genres":645,"series":648,"enrichment":649},"01kx2acjz4kg4wqkhshn8ynxkz","the-friday-night-knitting-club-dvkn","The Friday Night Knitting Club","Gathering for their weekly knitting club at a small yarn shop on Manhattan's upper west side, a group of friends shares such challenges as raising children, navigating the ups and downs of their education and careers, and pursuing uncertain relationships.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2acjzjnm8142v5tkv1zebg.jpg?v=380c95a90f","L89i#f}XBwxA0L5,z}Nf=ywgOlj=",345,[641],{"id":642,"slug":643,"name":644},"01kpvb4zw0z4pq42p8q5ydtwse","kate-jacobs-ipac","Kate Jacobs",[646,647],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":389,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":650,"themes":652,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[93,174,651],"cozy",[202,485],{"id":654,"slug":655,"title":656,"description":657,"primary_cover_url":658,"cover_blurhash":659,"first_publish_year":210,"community_rating_avg":109,"community_rating_count":89,"page_count":660,"authors":661,"genres":666,"series":669,"enrichment":670},"01kx2bcdzsj65zyqpj3f6xyg1k","if-today-be-sweet-upzs","If Today Be Sweet","Tehmina Sethna's beloved husband has died this past year and she is visiting her son, Sorab, in his suburban Ohio home. Now Tehmina is being asked to choose between her old, familiar life in India and a new one in Ohio with her son, his American wife, and their child. She must decide whether to leave the comforting landscape of her native India for the strange rituals of life in a new country.This is a journey Tehmina, a middle-aged Parsi woman, must travel alone.The Parsis were let into India almost a millennium ago because of their promise to \"sweeten\" and enrich the lives of the people in their adopted country. This is an ancient promise that Tehmina takes seriously. And so, while faced with the larger choice of whether to stay in America or not, Tehmina is also confronted with another, more urgent choice: whether to live in America as a stranger or as a citizen. Citizenship implies connection, participation, and involvement. Soon destiny beckons in the form of two young, troubled children next door. It is the plight of these two boys that forces Tehmina to choose. She will either straddle two worlds forever and live in a no-man's land or jump into the fullness of her new life in America.If Today Be Sweet is a novel that celebrates family and community. It is an honest but affectionate look at contemporary America—the sterility of its suburban life, the tinsel of its celebrity culture, but also the generosity of its people and their thirst for connection and communication. Eloquently written, evocative, and unforgettable, If Today Be Sweet is a poignant look at issues of immigration, identity, family life, and hope. It is a novel that shows how cultures can collide and become better for it.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2bce0d0p365hxy1snfr51p.jpg?v=c96882c6e2","LYP?p?oex^xu_NWBxaog9Ef5oLj]",296,[662],{"id":663,"slug":664,"name":665},"01kx2bce055c6barrt36w8vkvb","thrity-n-umrigar-ambm","Thrity N.

The woman expects a lovely night filled with endless plates of samosas. Instead, she finds out her husband is having an affair with a woman named Maggie. A short while after, her chest starts to ache. She walks into an examination room, where she finds out the pain in her breast isn’t just heartbreak—it’s cancer. She decides to call the tumor Maggie. Unfolding in fragments over the course of the ensuing months, Maggie; Or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar follows the narrator as she embarks on a journey of grief, healing, and reclamation. She starts talking to Maggie (the tumor), getting acquainted with her body’s new inhabitant. She overgenerously creates a “Guide to My Husband: A User’s Manual” for Maggie (the other woman), hoping to ease the process of discovering her ex-husband’s whims and quirks. She turns her children’s bedtime stories into retellings of Chinese folklore passed down by her own mother, in an attempt to make them fall in love with their shared culture—and to maybe save herself in the process. In the style of Jenny Offill and the tradition of Nora Ephron’s hilarious and devastating writing on heartbreak and womanhood, Maggie is a master class in transforming personal tragedy into a form of defiant comedy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2aj8vp9ja2n4325fqm1b6x.jpg?v=a1c6a8b148","LJDUJJ.,K?b]F?ODoJnSwcsmXNre",2025,208,[684],{"id":685,"slug":686,"name":687},"01kx2aj8vkv1crptwtjvsqchvf","katie-yee-06la","Katie Yee",[689,690],{"id":503,"name":504,"slug":505,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":389,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":693,"themes":695,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[694,123],"melancholic",[],{"id":697,"slug":698,"title":699,"description":700,"primary_cover_url":701,"cover_blurhash":702,"first_publish_year":535,"community_rating_avg":154,"community_rating_count":89,"page_count":703,"authors":704,"genres":706,"series":709,"enrichment":710},"01kx24kkcxwgrvrb9x3gpk3mcf","the-guy-not-taken-stories-uusf","The Guy Not Taken: Stories","Jennifer Weiner's talent shines like never before in this collection of short stories, following the tender, and often hilarious, progress of love and relationships over the course of a lifetime. From a teenager coming to terms with her father's disappearance to a widow accepting two young women into her home, Weiner's eleven stories explore those transformative moments in our every day. We meet Marlie Davidow, home alone with her new baby late one Friday night, when she wanders onto her ex's online wedding registry and wonders what if she had wound up with the guy not taken. We stumble on Good in Bed's Bruce Guberman, liquored-up and ready for anything on the night of his best friend's bachelor party, until stealing his girlfriend's tiny rat terrier becomes more complicated than he'd planned. We find Jessica Norton listing her beloved New York City apartment in the hope of winning her broker's heart. And we follow an unlikely friendship between two very different new mothers, and the choices that bring them together -- and pull them apart. The Guy Not Taken demonstrates Weiner's amazing ability to create characters who \"feel like they could be your best friend\" (Janet Maslin) and to find hope and humor, longing and love in the hidden corners of our common experiences.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24kkdc4g4zqn1c4cfasgnz.jpg?v=4602592710","L3G19#000000yZROaJofiHX8o}bI",304,[705],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24},[707,708],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":87,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":711,"themes":712,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[144,123],[392,176],[]]
