Synopsis

Hollywood star Dakota Fanning narrates the audio of one of the most anticipated books of the year, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner. A captivating story filled with heart, humor, secrets, and second chances, about two sisters’ incredible journey and a daughter’s quest to reunite her family.READERS ARE SAYING…“A fun read that went by way too quickly.” –Reader Review, 5*****“I couldn't put this book down, I just loved it.” –Reader review, 5*****“One of my favorite books ever.” –Reader Review, 5*****“Come for the drama, stay for the healing.” –Reader Review, 5*****“I cried happy tears, sad tears, laughed out loud. . . all the things that make a 5 star book.” –Reader Review, 5*****Cassie and Zoe Grossberg were once as dependent on each other as sisters could be, but it’s been two decades since they’ve spoken. As a pop sensation in their early twenties, the sisters experienced the ultimate highs of celebrity, until they were driven apart one terrible night. Now, in their early forties, Zoe is a suburban mom in New Jersey, and Cassie is living alone, off-grid in Alaska. Zoe’s teenage daughter Cherry is desperate to bring the women back together—and unearth the truth behind their estrangement. As long-buried secrets surface, Cassie and Zoe are forced to confront their past choices and betrayals and decide whether they can be open to forgiveness and reclaiming the strength of their sisterhood. Written with Jennifer Weiner’s signature humor and warm voice, The Griffin Sisters’ Greatest Hits is a fun, heartfelt, “shimmering story” (Woman’s World) that celebrates the essence of family: the ties that bind, the events that shape us, and the love that, despite all odds, brings us back to each other. This is Jennifer Weiner at her absolute best.
