Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner
Synopsis
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, a twenty-four-seven event planner who is charting her baby's every move on a spreadsheet, while hoping that her husband will pull his finger out, and finally find a job. And then there's the beautiful Ayinde, who is happily married to Philadelphia's most prominent basketball star, until the combination of a new baby and infidelity threathens their marriage. By turns moving, funny, and inspiring, Little Earthquakes is a great big delicious read from a prodigiously talented author.
I say...
Actually there is a 4th wive, which this story is started and ended by Lia, a run-away-girl who developed her career on TV show. She lost her baby boy and she was trying to make up and compromise for the guiltiness feeling...leaving her husband and making up with her mother.
At first, I didn't expect this book to be this good...well...I bought it on a sale rack...with an author that I've never heard nor read before...so with a bit of sceptical feeling (plus a boring day)...I spent my time reading it. And I luv it...it was witty (like those chicklit but this book was way better than the ordinary chicklit) and hilarious. I've never read anything like this...a day-to-day life with twisting horror (not in a spooky way) and fun...totally luv it
It tells about the journey of 3wives into motherhood. They meet accidentally at yoga classes and due to the given circumstances, become best buddy. Each with their own problem (may it be the breast-feeding stuff or in-law terror)...you might thought it was your story...because it was so downright true and yet heart warming. I recommend this for who ever is expecting their first baby...not to scare you but at least, you would be prepared for the worst. Just a little perfect book to bring inside your baby-delivering-bag *grinning*
Warning: reading this might remind you of uncomfortable days of your pregnancy...the pain of your delivery (not mine though - I was CS-ed)...and the nightmares which come along the cute and sweet baby.
