Finished Certain Girls last weekend, while riding in the passenger seat as my husband drove. He offered to pull over when I suddenly started crying and reaching through my bag for a tissue!
Thanks for being an amazing writer.

When I went back to work my emotions were going crazy!!!! How I would love to see this book made into a movie. Thank you so much for sharing your Gift with us!!! All your books have really made an impact in my life..thank you

I picked up Goodnight Nobody at the bookstore the other day, thought it would be a cute read but honestly didn't expect too much. I couldn't put it down & laughed out loud so many times! Great book!! I'm now going for the complete Jennifer Weiner library. Thanks for writing... your books are awesome!

Thanks for "friending" me! I just finished Goodnight Nobody a few weeks ago and I am ready to read it again. LOVED IT! At the risk of sounding goofy, I am a huge fan!

Hi Jennifer. I just finished "Certain Girls." It was terrific and I couldn't stop reading it until I was finished. The Philly parts were terrific as usual-great job!

Girl I have not yet finished the book, but it is getting so good that I wanted to slap the stewardess when she made me put it down to get off the plane once we landed. You've done it again. Tres Fab!!!!

Hello Jennifer - I just this moment completed Certain Girls. True to form you have made me laugh and think and worry (at the moment, mostly about what my children will someday think of my My Space posts ...). I now add cry to the list. Congratulations on another triumph, and thank you for a truly satisfying read - I simply loved it. Jayne

Hi, Jennifer. Just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying The Guy Not Taken. I have a six week old baby and have been reading to pass the time during the endless hours of nursing. Sleep deprivation has compromised my cognitive abilities, leaving me unable to digest a whole novel right now. The short stories are just perfect! I'm about two thirds through the book and so far Swim is my favorite. Your characters are so vivid and your prose snappy and fun. I'm looking forward to reading your novels just as soon as I can stay alert for more than twenty minutes at a time! Thanks for writing!

P.S. I love your blog! I always get at least one chuckle per entry. : )

Hello Jennifer. Thank you so much for the add. I read Good In Bed and was instantly a fan of your writing. I am now in the middle of Certain Girls and am loving it. I love your writing. You are such an inspiration! Thank you!!! I can't wait to read more!!! I hope you are doing well. Take care!!

Look sweetie,

so sorry about that I must have told you the bad one.

That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all angry because they sucked really bad, and they didn't pay too good either they gavelike free samples and stuff instead of cash.

But well, the right site is

S T E P 4 5 . C O M

it's the one I am pulling in $600 a week with putting in about 28 hours a week, at times up to like 35 hours if I'm bored.

Once you get your login make sure you register with with the companies on page one in the private area because they are the ones that pay the most, I got $60 for one that took me 30 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you start up.

Tammy started taking them too and she's cashing $700 a week, it's making me so jealous because I'm the one that sinformed her which one to subscribe with now she's making much more than me.

So me and Paul are getting prepared to leave, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems.

Thank you so much for your WONDERFUL writing! I've read - I would like to think - all your books and I have passed them to friends who became instant fans as well. Certain Girls. Oh my. I thought Good in Bed took my breath away and eased the ache in my own life! Certain Girls - wow. Taught me about truly living and loving what you have every day. What a marvelous writer you are. Thank you for the add.
