Told through the perspectives of two sisters, the narrative spans 50 years and lets us experience the lifetimes of joys, sorrows, good and bad decisions, and family dynamics of Jo and Bethie. ( ) A family saga based on the lives of 2 sisters, Jo and Bethie. (In reading reviews, I realized these are names of 2 of the sisters in Little Women!) They cannot be more different as children, or growing up. Chapters focus alternately on each sister. It's interesting how they weave in and out of each others' lives, and also how at different times they each seem to be leading the kind of life you would expect the other sister to live. What I really enjoyed was that the focus is on women. The men in the story are secondary characters, almost props. I also like the significance of the title, that the woman who tries to please everyone "misses everything." What I didn't love is the way some years in their lives are covered in great, meticulous detail, while other years, particularly toward the end, are rushed over, almost like the author was in a hurry to finish the book. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiOiTv7Dfm-/ Jennifer Weiner - Mrs. Everything: A surprisingly engaging, heartfelt and meaningful novel. (Also that title ain’t half-bad either.) #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
