Más información sobre el libro

Readers fell in love with Cannie Shapiro, the smart, sharp-tongued, bighearted heroine of Good in Bed, who found her happy ending after navigating family upheavals and an ex-boyfriend's public revelations. Now, Cannie returns after her debut novel—a fictionalized, highly sexualized version of her life—became a bestseller. She has retreated from the spotlight, happily married to diet doctor Peter Krushelevansky, embracing a predictable life filled with knitting at her daughter Joy's drama rehearsals, volunteering at the library, and attending yoga classes with her best friend, Samantha. As Joy's bat mitzvah approaches, Cannie's world feels perfect. However, everything changes when Joy discovers the novel Cannie wrote years ago, leading her to confront the hidden truth about her conception. Complicating matters further, Peter expresses a desire to have another baby, prompting the family to reevaluate their past, future, and the essence of true happiness. With Weiner's signature humor and keen insights into modern life, this story explores love, loss, and the unbreakable ties of family, delivering a radiant blend of comedy and tenderness.
