BFFs: Jennifer Weiner here July 18
Post-Dispatch Book Editor
Jennifer Weiner struck best-seller gold with her very first book, “Good in Bed.” It hit in 2001, during the chick lit craze, and made headlines because its heroine was, gasp!, a plump yet self-confident woman.
Weiner’s had eight best sellers since, with one - “In Her Shoes” - being made into a movie with Cameron Diaz.
The author’s next book is called “Best Friends Forever,” and it hasn’t gone on sale yet, but an Entertainment Weekly poll says it’s the “must-read” title of the summer.
Weiner just added St. Louis to her tour, and she’ll speak at the Ethical Society, 9001 Clayton Road, at 8 p.m. July 18. The book goes on sale July 14. Pudd’nhead Books will have all of Weiner’s books for sale. For more info: 314-918-1069.
