Summary
The New York Times best seller!
From Jennifer Weiner, the best-selling author of In Her Shoes and Who Do You Love....
Jo and Bethie couldn't be more different...but the world expects them to be the same.
Growing up in 1950s Detroit, the Kaufman sisters' 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 as the '60s begin, the world around them is changing fast. Soon nothing about their future seems to be what they'd hoped for or expected. Bethie becomes an adventure-loving wild child, while Jo becomes a proper young mother in Connecticut, putting the truth of what - and who - she really desires to one side. Neither woman inhabits the world she dreams of. Is it too late for them to stake a claim on the lives they really want?

Thought provoking and intense.
Really enjoyed this book which follows the lives of two sisters. Not a lot of laughs but I liked the development of the characters.

Couldn’t stop listening
Really enjoyed this novel: good story; well-developed characters; sense of history and changes in attitudes over the decades. Though not in any way chick lit, the story encapsulates the choices women have had to make - and still make today. Worth a credit!!
