Destiny made its way for them to meet again as her long-gone best friend, Val, showed up at Addie’s front door with a terrified look in her face and a stain of blood on the sleeve of her coat. They then find themselves caught up in a wild adventure who tried to find strength and support in each other that they could never achieve being alone.
All Fall Down: All Fall Down is an interesting story of a woman, Allison Weiss who slid into addiction and struggled to find her way out of it.
It starts with her trying to cope up with the hardships she went through in life-her husband becoming distant and cold, her 5-year old daughter’s tantrums, and her father’s worsening case of Alzheimer’s disease. One day, when she brought her daughter to a pediatrician, a magazine is flipped open to a quiz about addiction. She then started to wonder if her constant use of prescription pills to ease her worries can become a problem in the future. She wonders if her pills’ effect is just the same to that of drinking a glass of wine every day.
This is a woman’s tale of redemption and empowerment even made beautiful with a comedic touch and true-to-life realizations.

But her thought of a happy start has shaken as she began to struggle with the terrors of the Hollywood industry.

When Does The Next Jennifer Weiner book come out?
The next book by Jennifer Weiner is The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits and will be released on April, 8th 2025.
I normally don’t go for books like these, but Weiner’s works are captivating for even someone like me. I remember seeing “In Her Shoes” in the movie theater and then reading the book shortly after. As with any movie adapted from a book, there are differences, but I found both to be entertaining and cute, but in a good way. I especially recommend the book and movie for any sisters out there.
