The Breakaway is sexy and suspenseful and so much fun, even as it asks us to imagine lives unconstrained by convention or the Supreme Court. It’s the lobster roll you get with mayo and melted butter—because why choose? To quote Mary Oliver grossly out of context, ‘Let the soft animal of your body love what it loves,’ whether it’s noodles or romance or even the uncertainty that comes with getting to decide who we want to be.” — New York Times
“Weiner is the undisputed queen of the fun yet thoughtful poolside read” — Vogue
“A fun, smart, and a powerful reminder to follow your own path.” — The Skimm on The Breakaway
"Incredibly fun . . . A lovely, compulsively readable story about finding your path and believing in your own worth.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on The Breakaway
“This is a winning combination of a light read with serious emotional depth, the very mix Weiner's many fans have come to expect from her. Weiner’s annual summer release is a welcome (and highly anticipated) treat for readers of relatable relationship fiction.” — Booklist, starred review, on The Breakaway
“Sexy and satisfying. . . Observant, self-aware, and very funny, Big Summer will delight Jennifer Weiner’s many fans and could be just the absorbing take-me-away read so many of us need right now.” — USA Today, on Big Summer
“It's the beach read to end all beach reads." — Entertainment Weekly, on Big Summer
“It’s deliciously fun: frothy entertainment with surprising depth. Big Summer is big fun, and then some. It's empowering and surprising—a reminder to put down the phone and enjoy each moment for what it is, rather than what it could look like on Instagram.” — The Washington Post, on Big Summer
