I read this in about a week. I loved it and looked forward to getting back to it during my baby's naps and bedtime! Made me feel like I wasn't alone in all the trials, tribulations and FUN of new motherhood.

I have read four of Jennifer Weiner's books now and I am always surprised by how much they captivate me. With Little Earthquakes, I literally could not put it down. I am a single women with no children and the stories of these four women really fascinated me even though I could not relate to their lives. I love her writing and find it refreshing amongst the multitude of "chick lit" writers. Little Earthquakes is one of Jennifer Weiner's best works.

I enjoy this author's books very much- have never been disappointed.

I almost gave it 4 stars, because truth be told, I could hardly put it down and finished it in two days (and I am the mother of an 18 month old.) However, there were just enough moments interspersed to make me say to myself "oh, I wish she hadn't written that that way."

I lost a baby as a newborn, so the portions of the story dealing with Lia were mostly right on, but again, others seemed completely wrong to me (in particular her spending so much time with women with new babies...no grieving mother I know, and I know plenty, would ever, ever do that. It is far too excruciating.)

I liked the characters, laughed out loud enough to plow through it and will read another by Weiner.

I read this book on the way to the beach for Thanksgiving this year. I had never read a Jennifer Weiner novel before and honestly, chose it because the cover was pretty! I was thoroughly delighted with this novel. The story of three women in a small community who end up sharing their lives quite by accident was so endearing that I found myself mourning a little when it came to an end. The fourth woman in the novel serves as a foil for the rest whose brush with motherhood ended tragically. Seeing how four strong women make it through the trials of mother who and marriage restored my faith in people, even if they only exist in books. I highly recommend this to new mothers, old mothers, and mothers-yet-to-be. It is sweet, sad, funny, and oh so true.
