Goodnight Nobody
Goodnight Nobody | Jennifer Weiner
14 posts | 48 read | 12 to read
A warm and witty novel from the acclaimed author of Good in Bed, In Her Shoesand the forthcoming Who Do You Love (August 2015)For Kate Klein, semi-accidental mother of three, the unsolved murder of a fellow mother is the most interesting thing to happen since the neighbours cracked their septic tank. Up until then life in suburbia has been distinctly underwhelming. Her once-loving husband is hardly ever home. The supermums on the playground routinely snub her and her days are filled with an empty routine. At night, most of her orgasms are of the do-it-yourself variety.So, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, when her kids are in nursery school, Kate launches a murder investigation of her own. With the help of her best friend, carpet heiress Janie Segal, and former flame, Evan McKenna, she is drawn deep into the dead woman's double life. Suddenly suburbia is not so ordinary after all.Engrossing, suspenseful, and laugh-out-loud funny, Goodnight Nobodyis another unputdownable, sparkling tale; a quick-witted mystery with a great heart and a narrator you'll never forget.

I've never read Jennifer Weiner before aside from starting Big Summer and not really getting into it, but this was a lot of fun! Her writing is good and I was sucked into the storyline. Recommend as a light, distracting read 😉

TheBookgeekFrau Good to know as this book has landed on my TBR shelf! I read Big Summer and didn't like it. 5mo

I had a different book by this author on my “to read” list, but snagged this one at HPB for $2. It was a decent story but in my opinion way too drawn out and the killer was very anticlimactic to me. Once I got into the back half of the book I enjoyed it more, but still just pretty meh.

Mehso-so

This ended up being mostly a letdown. It‘s not a thriller but has the mystery aspect, & I don‘t think it‘s Weiner‘s forte. The reveal got a bit kooky, plus had a villain monologue. Writing overall was mostly fine, dialogue was sharp, but it was too long w/random tangents, & she needs to stop w/MCs who constantly compare themselves to other women & endless talk about bodies, clothes, hair, etc. Not terrible but more negatives than positives. 2/5 ⭐️

“This was the sixties,” she began, “which I think should explain a lot of what I‘m going to tell you.”

[LOL—how many times did my parents shrug and say “It was the sixties” when trying to explain some bizarre story...✌🏻]

Okay, I‘m enjoying this for the most part, but it‘s got the same thing as I mentioned here about another book I read recently: constant, like multiple times on the same page, use of characters‘ full names!! And this author is white as are the majority of the characters, so it‘s not a language or cultural thing. And it‘s driving me freaking batty! Whyyyyyyyyy. I know “Carol” is “Carol Gwinnell” FFS, you just mentioned her four sentences ago! 😣😣😣

LiteraryinPA How odd! I think that would bother me. 5y

As the kids and I walked through the white picket playground gates, we saw four women seated on the green wooden bench by the seesaws: four women wearing the identical shade of dark pink lipstick; four formidably groomed, exquisitely fit, terrifyingly capable-looking women. Each one had a monogrammed paisley silk diaper bag slung across her shoulder, like a Pink Lady jacket. Or an Uzi.

I wanted to read something funny, and Jennifer Weiner is always good for a laugh...hopefully even when she‘s writing about a murder 🔪 #nowreading

I really enjoyed this. The ex-flame helping out makes for a slightly more interesting investigation. After taking a peek at some of the other reviews, I had no problem with Kate! I guess I “get” her infatuation with her former crush (though I am not married, so…), and I don‘t have kids, so the fact that she wasn‘t terribly happy with her current situation didn‘t really bother me. In any case, I really enjoyed the story!
