Jennifer Weiner’s new novel, The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits, is a powerful story about sisterhood, the identities we forge in childhood, the bonds that get tested, and the tremendous love and loyalty that can overcome all odds.

This is the story of two sisters: Zoe, who is charming, beautiful, and hungry for fame, and Cassie, a musical prodigy whose insecurities have driven her to retreat inward. In the early 2000s, the sisters are catapulted into the spotlight for a brief shining and indelible moment. But just as quickly as they skyrocketed to fame, The Griffin Sisters disappeared. Twenty years later, the once inseparable sisters haven’t spoken in years. When Zoe’s teenage daughter decides to follow in her mother’s footsteps, it sets in motion a journey that may reunite the sisters once more.

Weiner’s books have spent over five years on the New York Times bestseller list, with more than 11 million copies in print. A New Yorker profile called Weiner an “unlikely feminist enforcer” and celebrated her “lively public discussion about the reception and consumption of fiction written by women.” Her work has been published in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and other periodicals.
