A warm and witty novel from the acclaimed author of Good in Bed, In Her Shoesand the forthcoming Who Do You Love This is the story of what comes after 'happily ever after' as three young wives make the journey into motherhood, and discover how it changes their sense of themselves and their relationships with friends and family. There's Becky, a plump, sexy chef, with an overworked husband, an adorable baby girl...and the mother-in-law from hell. There's Kelly, an event planner who's trying to cram sixty hours of work into twenty-hour weeks, all while charting her baby's every move on a spreadsheet and hoping that her husband will pull his life together, pull on some pants, and find a job. And there's Ayinde, who is married to Philadelphia's most prominent basketball star, until the combination of new baby and infidelity threatens their marriage. As these three grow closer while attempting to put their lives in order, we also come to know Lia, who returns home to Philadelphia after her life in Los Angeles ends in horrible tragedy. By turns moving, funny, and inspiring, Little Earthquakesis a great big delicious read from a prodigiously talented author.

I liked the way Kelly, Ayinde and Becky met. How each were so different and yet got along well. I liked the way they accepted Lia in their small mom‘s group.

I listened to Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner, an easy and compelling read about new mothers struggling with a variety of challenges. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really enjoyed this book. It‘s a pretty raw look at the reality of new motherhood and marital relationships. The novel follows 4 women, who became friends because of their shared experiences and are each on their own journey with their own pitfalls. Funny, at times poignant and even heartbreaking. Most mothers (and maybe some fathers) will find elements of this story that ring true.

I always appreciate Jennifer Weiner for creating characters who feel so very real and for writing dialogue that actually sounds like it would come out of their mouths. I don't have kids nor have I ever wanted them at all, but she got me to read a book all about new motherhood, so 💯 for that, haha. This was funny and light but also heavy at times, which I like. Main issue was these loser men the women were with was frustrating. Ugh DTMFA!! 4/5 ⭐
