Certain Girls is the follow-up to Jennifer Weiner's debut novel, Good in Bed. Twelve years after the events in Good in Bed, the books heroine, Cannie Shapiro, is laying low and writing science fiction under a pseudonym. She's had enough of the big life, and has put her former success, her major hit life story, behind her. Normal isn't as easy as it seems. Her daughter Joy seems to want nothing more than to argue with her at ever turn. Her husband Pete wants to expand their family with another baby, and her best friend seems to be looking for love in all the wrong places.
Twelve year old daughter Joy, has not put her mother's story behind her. She's been reading Mom's memoirs and finding out more than she ever wanted to know about her mother's life before she was born. It's bad enough that she's having a hard time figuring out who she is, and these strange new truths cast a shadow over Joy's mother she can't overlook. Joy begins thinking about her biological father in a new light, and a budding curiosity about her estranged grandfather begins to overwhelm her. When she steals Mom's credit card and takes off for the West Coast, will it tear their whole family apart?
