 Certain Girls Not on Same Level as Good In Bed November 19, 2008
I found this book to be a major letdown. Weiner writes from the perspectives of both Cannie and her daughter Joy. Although this is entertaining at first, Weiner soon loses the witty and funny Cannie of GOOD IN BED. Her humor and life attitude are not the same. I don't think this drastic personality change can be explained away by age and motherhood, because that is just too depressing a thought! Also, the ending of this book made me ask the question WHY?! What was Weiner thinking?! She essentially took away Cannie's happy ending w/10 pages left in the book and I cannot figure out why. The ending event of the book was just pointless. I love all of Weiner's other books, but CERTAIN GIRLS just does not have it! It feels like she just wrote it for a paycheck. The book was a disappointment and I truly hope I can forget it and think of Cannie and her family the way they were at the close of GOOD IN BED. Would definitely NOT recommend!
 LOVED IT. November 2, 2008

I am surprised to see that many Good In Bed readers didn't LOVE this book. Is it because of the end? I guess I am not a happily ever after person. To me, Good in Bed is all about Mothers and Daughters and the JOY (no pun intended) that comes from that bond....even though it's a small part of the GIB story-- it's a HUGE part of Certain Girls, and furthered the relationship that I wanted to see more of.
LOVED IT. YAY CANNIE!!!!
Really? October 31, 2008
Was the ending truly necessary? She's a good writer, but the the ending ruined it for me.
 Just Good October 29, 2008
I fell in love with Cannie in Good in Bed, and I will take what I can get in terms of a sequel--I'm just glad we got to see what happened to her down the line. She definitely still had that quick wit and sense of humor that made Cannie so great. It was good to see the Shapiro family again. Unlike Good in Bed, though, I probably would not re-read this one.
 Lacks the magic October 27, 2008
I LOVED "Good in Bed", "In her Shoes" and "Little Earthquakes", and found each of them insightful in their own ways. All of them went above the stereotypical "chick lit" style and morphed into something quite meaningful. I enjoyed "Certain Girls" but it lacked the magic of the first book. Cannie's character does not sparkle like it did in the first book. Joy's voice is an interesting addition to the story. Weiner did have me nodding my head vigorously in some places; anyone who has grown up and experienced pain and rejection will sympathize. If you liked Weiner's previous work you'll like this book too.
