Little Earthquakes

By: Jennifer Weiner

Narrated by: Johanna Parker

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.

great stpry' too many at once

it was a little gard to follow characters and I do not understand the ending

Every mother must read!

Great great book!! Every mother must read! It will make you cry and laugh out load I could not put it down

More than your average "chick lit"

This book is heavier than the regular "chick lit" fluff, but still an enjoyable listen. Some of the book is heartbreaking, and some of it hilarious. Great read for a new (or any!) mom!

LOVE!! (Trigger warning)

What a fantastic book. So glad I found this one. Trigger warning for death of a child, b but still a well-rounded and beautiful story of women, friendship, marriage, and motherhood.

sweet, funny, heart breaking... wonderful

I didn't want it to end! I hope a movie is mafe of it someday.

Not bad for chick lit

It's an easy read and typical chick lit. The narrator was not bad and that made the book more pleasurable.

Great book for mothers

This book is a relatable book for mothers from all different walks of life, each dealing with their own life crisis yet bonding together in a sisterhood that only mothers understand.
The narrator was not bad but sometimes annoying when reading a male's line. Other than that it was enjoyable.

A solid “meh” for me

I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more had I been closer to the baby years. Just ok.

My first from this author

I liked the multiple stories within the one story. This kept my interest. The author was able to clearly delineate the different personalities which is not always the case for some authors.
While I felt there was a bit of overkill on the difficulties of a new baby, all in all it was a good story.

Beautiful!

I LOVE this story. Realistic, wonderfully written, perfect narration. Easy to get lost in and you'll want to hear it again once it's over the first time! HIGHLY recommend it!
