This page-turner by the author of Good in Bed and In Her Shoes is the best grown-up novel I've read in ages. Here's what the critics had to say:

With writing that flows like a conversation between best friends - effortless but meaningful - Then Came You is the perfect summer read." —The Houston Chronicle
“The conflicts enmeshing all these characters...are gripping, and Weiner’s elucidation of socio-economic determinism is as sharp as ever.” —Kirkus
