About the Book
Jennifer Weiner’s forthcoming novel, “The Griffin Sisters’ Greatest Hits,” tells the story of Cassie and Zoe Grossberg, sisters who skyrocketed to pop stardom in the early 2000s as the Griffin Sisters. Zoe, blessed with charm and beauty, yearned for fame from the moment she could sing into a hairbrush. Cassie was a musical prodigy who never felt at home in her own skin and preferred the safety of the shadows.
After a whirlwind year in the public eye, the band abruptly broke up. Two decades later, Zoe is a suburban housewife, Cassie has retreated from public life, and Zoe’s teenage daughter, Cherry, is determined to become a star—despite her mother’s warnings. As Cherry digs into the truth behind the band’s breakup, long-buried secrets surface, forcing all three women to confront the choices that shaped their lives.
Set against the backdrop of the music industry, the novel explores ambition, sisterhood, motherhood, and the price of fame. Set for release on April 8, 2025.
About the Author
Jennifer Weiner’s books have spent more than five years on The New York Times bestseller list, including multiple times at No. 1, with more than 11 million copies in print in 36 countries.
Weiner’s books have consistently received critical acclaim. The Washington Post wrote: “Weiner has made a major literary career out of writing engrossing popular novels that take women seriously.” Refinery29 called her “the master of richly told page-turners about complicated and likable women.”
Over more than two decades, Weiner’s work has explored themes such as the complex relationships between sisters, best friends, mothers and daughters; body image and the challenges of being a plus-size woman; romance; motherhood and its struggles; the rewards and costs of careers; infidelity and sex scandals; infertility and gestational surrogacy; addiction and substance abuse; the modern social landscape; the bittersweet pleasures of summer retreats; creativity and artistic achievement; the power of forgiveness and reconciliation; and, above all, how the world treats — and mistreats — women.
