What happened to the cannie we loved from good in bed

What happened the she smart witted, funny Cannie we loved from
Good in Bed? When I finished reading Good in Bed, I couldn't wait to see what life was like for Cannie... but I didn't feel like I was reading about the same character. This book by itself was a good enough book, but it did not leave me wanting more of the characters.

hmmmmm...

Like many have said... I love Weiner's work. This book had some nice parts, but was also surprisingly boring sometimes and depressing. I am all for surprises, but come on!

Solid B

Okay, like a lot of the other reviewers, I was kind of surprised at what happened to Cannie over the years, but I felt like I really started understanding what she was thinking about half-way through the book. Motherhood is a big change and it changes how you see yourself. You know, the whole "your life isn't yours anymore" thing. Still, the obsession with the bat mitzvah got so tiresome. And I didn't feel like the daughter's chapters really worked. It was sort of like Cannie-lite.

But the book still has a lot of funny moments and the ending will definitely leave you wondering. Pretty good, but not great.
