Jennifer Weiner
I have the best divorce of anyone I've heard of.
Jennifer Weiner

Jennifer Weiner
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the patience not to strangle my mother-in-law, chop her into little pieces, and dump them down a sewer.
Jennifer Weiner
And then he left, and came back, and our lives fell apart, like a well-loved book that you’d read and read again, until one night you picked it up to read yourself to sleep and the binding collapsed, sending dozens of pages spiraling toward the floor.
Jennifer Weiner
Every mother I've ever met, pretty much without exception, is doing the best job she can ever do.
Jennifer Weiner
People are always coming up to me with my books and saying, 'You write these things I think but I could never say,'
Jennifer Weiner
You should be concerned about the state of your soul, not the state of your bank account.
Jennifer Weiner
People will want you to behave a certain way, to make a certain choice because it reinforces the way they see the world...But you have to do what's right for you.
