Jennifer Weiner
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes a warmhearted and empowering new novel about love, family, friendship, secrets, and a life-changing journey.
Thirty-three-year-old Abby Stern has made it to a happy place. True, she still has gig jobs instead of a career, and the apartment where she’s lived since college still looks like she’s just moved in. But she’s got good friends, her bike, and her bicycling club in Philadelphia. She’s at peace with her plus-size body—at least, most of the time—and she’s on track to marry Mark Medoff, her childhood sweetheart, a man she met at the weight-loss camp that her perpetually dieting mother forced her to attend. Fifteen years after her final summer at Camp Golden Hills, when Abby reconnects with a half-his-size Mark, it feels like the happy ending she’s always wanted.
Yet Abby can’t escape the feeling that something isn’t right...or the memories of one thrilling night she spent with a man named Sebastian two years previously. When Abby gets a last-minute invitation to lead a cycling trip from NYC to Niagara Falls, she’s happy to have time away from Mark, a chance to reflect and make up her mind.
But things get complicated fast. First, Abby spots a familiar face in the group—Sebastian, the one-night stand she thought she’d never see again. Sebastian is a serial dater who lives a hundred miles away. In spite of their undeniable chemistry, Abby is determined to keep her distance. Then there’s a surprise last-minute addition to the trip: her mother, Eileen, the woman Abby blames for a lifetime of body shaming and insecurities she’s still trying to undo.
Over two weeks and more than seven hundred miles, strangers become friends, hidden truths come to light, a teenage girl with a secret unites the riders in unexpected ways...and Abby is forced to reconsider everything she believes about herself, her mother, and the nature of love.

Since it is her story, I'm surprised the narration for her part was so subpar. This audiobook would be much more enjoyable with someone else reading that part.
I tried listening at different speeds, but her reading pace was so inconsistent that I found myself losing track of the story because I had to adjust the speed so frequently.
If I had it to do over, I'd skip the audio version and buy the actual book for this one.
Fun Story but New Narrator Needed

JW has definitely had a theme of writing plus size leads which I find refreshing. I am a huge proponent of HAES, fighting Western beauty standards, and smashing the patriarchy. But this book definitely pushed the agenda to the point that I was annoyed. I’m looking to escape in one or JW’s clever stories, not be reminded of how shitty diet culture is (which it definitely is).
I’m just not sure what this book is. A novel? A story showing different points of view via the different characters? A book educating us on body neutrality? A reminder not to slut shame and assure consent? A commentary on the impact of Roe being overturned and how devastating that change can be to a person with an unwanted pregnancy? (Using trite, stereotyped characters nonetheless.)
And finally… the narrator (a talented actress) needed to stick to her day job. Unnatural pauses, pronunciation which led to a struggle in comprehension, grating voice, unexpected emphasis on syllables or words.
Hoping JW comes back in her next novel showcasing how brilliant of a storyteller she can be.
Die Hard JW Fan But….

Second, some storylines seemed just thrown in there for todays news sake. No follow up or real reason for them.
Let’s just take every issue of today and throw it in a book.
I love JW- I preorder every book.
This one was disappointing.
Jenn Weiner is my favorite- sadly this book is not!

The narrator of Abby took too many pauses and (swallowing sounds).
Skip this one!
