Sometimes the worst thing that happens to you, the thing you think you can't survive...it's the thing that makes you better than you used to be.
Jennifer Weiner
I will love myself, and my body, for what it can do- because it is strong enough to lift, to walk, to ride a bicyle up a hill, to embrace the people I love and hold them fully, and to nurture a new life. I will love myself because I am sturdy. Because I did not -will not- break.
Jennifer Weiner
She thought of what it would be like to grow up without the one certainty that every baby deseved - when I'm hurt or cold or scared, someone will come and care for me - and how that absence could warp you so that you'd lash out at the people you loved, driving them away when all you wanted to do was pull them closer.

Jennifer Weiner
I love it when people ask if Jennifer Weiner is a pen name. Um, if I wanted a pen name I could have done a LOT better than this!

The idea you can tell a writer of a specific religion to stop writing about that religion is presumptuous.
Jennifer Weiner
If you write chick lit, and if you're a New Yorker, and if your book becomes the topic of pop-culture fascination, the paper might make dismissive and ignorant mention of your book. If you write romance, forget about it. You'll be lucky if they spell your name right on the bestseller list.
Jennifer Weiner
There are a lot of women like me in the world, and we rarely get to see ourselves.
Jennifer Weiner
Maybe it was inertia -or worse, fear- that was keeping me in the same place.
Jennifer Weiner
If you put a pink cover on something, critics make a certain set of assumptions and may not even read the book. But my readers are happy with it.
Jennifer Weiner
So here I am. Twenty-eight years old, with thirty looming on the horizon. Drunk. Fat. Alone. Unloved. And, worst of all, a cliche, Ally McBeal and Bridget Jones put together, which was probably about how much I weighed.
Jennifer Weiner
I don't particularly like being angry about stuff. I'd rather hang out with my daughter and write my little books.
Jennifer Weiner
