Little Earthquakes

Four very different women navigate one of life's most wonderful and perilous transitions: the journey of new motherhood.

With her trademark warmth and humor, Weiner tells the story of what happens after happily ever after. (back cover of audio book)

Little Earthquakes written and read by Jennifer Weiner is the story of four women's expectations before, during, and after motherhood. The women are very diverse and come to be very good friends after unexpected events draw them together. Their thoughts, ideas, and expectations of babies, husbands, family and careers dramatically change as they struggle to "have it all" after childbirth. Cute, humorous, and enjoyable to listen to, Little Earthquakes was a fun read and I recommend it to others. However, I do feel that it will have its greatest appeal to young women and mothers due to a plot that primarily revolves around husbands and babies.
