Readers fell in love with Cannie Shapiro, the witty and bighearted heroine of Good in Bed, who found her happy ending amid family upheavals and an ex-boyfriend's public revelations. Now, Cannie returns after her debut novel—a fictionalized, highly sexualized account of her life—became a bestseller. She has since retreated from the spotlight to write science fiction under a pseudonym. Happily married to diet doctor Peter Krushelevansky, Cannie enjoys a predictably pleasant life filled with knitting at her daughter Joy's drama rehearsals, volunteering at the library, and attending yoga classes with her best friend Samantha. As Joy's bat mitzvah approaches, Cannie's world seems perfect. However, everything changes when Joy discovers Cannie's earlier novel, leading her to confront the hidden truth about her own conception. When Peter surprises Cannie by expressing a desire to have another baby, the family must reevaluate their history and what happiness truly means. With a blend of humor and heartfelt moments, this story captures the complexities of love, loss, and the enduring bonds of family, showcasing sharp observations of modern life through Weiner's clever dialogue.
