Audiobooks by Jennifer Weiner

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Summer and Mrs. Everything channels Shirley Jackson and Stephen King to bring us a chilling tale of an author willing to do anything to revitalize her career. Sarah Vernon has spent twenty years trying to make it as a novelist…and she's never even come close. None of her novels has sold more than five thousand copies, and she's never earned enough money to make fiction her full-time job. After her last disappointing publication, Sarah's agent dumped her, and it seems like her dream is dead. Sarah vows that she'll do anything for one last shot at the bestseller list. Enter Will Presser. Nicknamed The Viper, Will is a literary agent whose career-making reputation precedes him. A business dinner ends with a nightcap at Will's apartment—and a night Sarah can't remember. When she wakes up the next morning, Will says he's got a plan to make her new book a hit. He sends Sarah off to Elder Island, a summer playground for the rich and famous that empties out between September and May, for her own personal writer's retreat. He's left word that Sarah needs complete privacy in order to write, and Sarah's too bewildered and flattered by Will's attention to do anything but pack her bags and board the ferry. Alone in an isolated mansion, Sarah's writing has never come more easily. She spends hours each day lost in a trance, falling into the world of her story. She tries not to worry about the nightmares that plague her…or the mornings she wakes up with dirt on her feet and blood under her fingernails. Everything Will Presser touches becomes a success, and, now, Will Presser has touched me, Sarah thinks. But Elder Island isn't the pretty summer playground it seems to be, and Sarah's going to learn that success comes at a cost, and that, whenever you sign a deal, it's always wise to read the fine print.

Big Summer: A Novel

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Sexy and satisfying, Big Summer is the perfect quarantine read." —USA TODAY "The beach read to end all beach reads." —Entertainment Weekly "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." —The Washington Post A deliciously funny, remarkably poignant, and simply unputdownable novel about the power of friendship, the lure of frenemies, and the importance of making peace with yourself through all life's ups and down. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever, Big Summer is the perfect escape with one of the most lovable heroines to come to the page in years. Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn't spoken one word to Drue in all this time—she doesn't even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media—so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless. Drue was always the one who had everything—except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne's no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She's built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend's siren song. A sparkling novel about the complexities of female relationships, the pitfalls of living out loud and online, and the resilience of the human heart, Big Summer is a witty, moving story about family, friendship, and figuring out what matters most.

Hungry Heart: Adventures in Life, Love, and Writing

No matter what was happening in Jennifer Weiner's life—whether good, bad, or very, very ugly—her mother, Fran, would say the same thing: it's all material. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author and “one of the biggest names in popular fiction” (USA TODAY), beloved on Twitter and hailed as "an unlikely feminist enforcer” (The New Yorker), takes the raw stuff of her personal life and spins it into a collection of personal essays as uproariously funny and heartfelt as the best of Tina Fey and Nora Ephron. Jennifer grew up as an outsider in her picturesque Connecticut hometown (“a Lane Bryant outtake in an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue”) and at her Ivy League college, but finally found her people in newsrooms in central Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, and her voice as a novelist and New York Times columnist. In her first essay collection, no subject is off-limits: sex, weight, envy, money, the reality of life with a newborn, her mom's newfound lesbianism, her estranged father's death (and Weiner's subsequent attempt to get the funeral home to accept her American Express card, because “if at least I get points, something good will have come of this”). From bad blind dates to modern childbirth to handling her six-year-old daughter's use of the f-word–fat–for the first time, Jennifer Weiner goes there, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to readers all over the world. By turns hilarious and deeply touching, this collection shows that the woman behind treasured novels like Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever, is every bit as winning, smart, and honest in real life as she is in her fiction.
