I marked out Certain Girls from my "to read" list. This is not because I have read it. I like spoilers and often read reviews and wikipedia articles on books and movies as I am reading/watching them. I read spoilers from this book and decided not to read it. If you want to read it without prior knowledge, stop here, spoilers ahead...
The husband of the main adult female character and step-father to the teenage girl in the story dies. Given my personal history I cannot handle fathers dying in books or movies. I mean, I can live through it, but I don't enjoy it at all and it's often enough to completely ruin an entertainment experience for me. So, I decided to skip this book. I love Jennifer Weiner's writing and imagine I would probably have enjoyed the book overall, but everyone has their triggers and this is mine.
Anybody want a free, never read book?
