THAT SUMMER

"Weiner's storytelling skill is such that she paints an uncompromising, complicated portrait of the insidious dangers of the patriarchy that is also a lot of fun to read. Weiner's latest is a summer banger with a ripped-from-the headlines plot, which is sure to garner lots of attention." — Booklist, Starred Review

INSTAGRAm

I am a sucker for coming of age, young-woman-finds-her-voice stories. Take that, mix in tales of difficult families, sex and body woes and friendships, set it in the hothouse atmosphere of an all-girls boarding school, and you’ve got a winner. ALL GIRLS by @emilylayden, is funny and heartbreaking, fresh and achingly familiar. It’s out today. I loved it and I bet you will, too. #Allgirls #amreading #writersofinstagram

Someday, we will tally up the orgasms that women didn’t have because they believed some la-di-da literary author’s version of how their bodies were supposed to work and how sex was supposed to be and that number? Will be very, very high.
(Sorry for the rant, but I was editing the big sex scene in THAT SUMMER and thinking how it’s aggravating to watch critics sneer at the heaving bosoms/throbbing manhoods in romance, or make fun of sex scenes in popular fiction, while stuff likes this wins prizes).
Wishing you all a very fulfilling Monday! #thatsummer #amwriting #letstalkaboutsex

Look what came in the mail today!!!!
As many times as I’ve had the experience of opening a box and seeing my words on the page, my imaginary friends having adventures, between beautiful covers — it never, ever, ever gets old. Every time, this is the moment when it feels real. When there’s no turning back, and I know for sure it’s going out into the world.
I love this book so much and I cannot wait for you to meet Daisy and Diana and Michael and Beatrice (especially Beatrice, who was very much inspired by my own older daughter). 🥰☺️❤️#ThatSummer #summerreading #summerbooks #beachbooks #beachread
