Description
From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner, a “lively, witty, and often touching” (People) novel that tells the story of three very different women as they navigate one of life’s most wonderful and perilous transitions: the journey of new motherhood.
Becky is a plump, sexy chef who has a wonderful husband and baby girl, a restaurant that received a citywide acclaim, and the mother-in-law from hell. Kelly is an event planner who’s struggling to balance her work and motherhood while dealing with unemployed husband who seems content to channel-surf for eight hours a day. Ayinde’s basketball superstar husband breaks her trust at her most vulnerable moment, putting their new family even more in the public eye. Then, there’s Lia, a Philadelphia native who has left her Hollywood career behind, along with her husband, and a tragic secret to start her life all over again.
From prenatal yoga to postbirth sex, Little Earthquakes is a frank, funny, fiercely perceptive take on the comedies and tragedies of love and marriage.

4By Emtaylor1Loved the stories of these women and the witty writing style. The book made me both laugh and cry, which is always nice. I'm an editor so the several editorial discrepancies/spelling errors bothered me a little. Not enough to ruin the book for me though... I still enjoyed it and would recommend it.Little earthquakes
