You’re invited to a glimmering conversation with New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner as we chat about the signature emotional depth of her books which have been inspiring readers toward self-discovery for decades. We're excited to chat with queen of fun herself, author of bestselling novels like "Good In Bed," "In Her Shoes," "Big Summer," "The Breakaway" and many more. 

Additionally, in a special preview, Weiner will briefly discuss her forthcoming novel "The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits," (due out April 8, 2025). Set in the world of pop music, "The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits" is about sisters, motherhood, young love and the dreams we chase.

Sisters Cassie and Zoe Grossberg were born just a year apart but could not have been more different. Zoe, blessed with charm and beauty, yearned for fame from the moment she could sing into a hairbrush. Cassie was a musical prodigy who never felt at home in her own skin and preferred the safety of the shadows.

On the brink of adulthood in the early 2000s, destiny intervened, catapulting the sisters into the spotlight as the pop sensation The Griffin Sisters, hitting all the touchstones of early aughts fame — SNL, MTV, Rolling Stone magazine — along the way. But, after a whirlwind year in the public eye, the band abruptly broke up.

Two decades later, Zoe’s a housewife; Cassie’s off the grid. The sisters aren’t speaking, and the real reason for the Griffin Sisters’ breakup is still a mystery. Zoe’s teenage daughter, Cherry, who’s determined to be a star in spite of Zoe’s warnings, is on a quest to learn the truth about what happened to the band all those years ago.

As secrets emerge, all three women must face the consequences of their choices: the ones they made and the ones the music industry made for them. Can they forgive each other — and themselves? And will the Griffin Sisters ever make music again? Register now for what will most certainly be a dazzling conversation!
