'Jennifer Weiner has been compared to both Helen Fielding and Candace Bushnell but I'd put her in a category of her own' HEAT
'Jennifer Weiner has the knack of getting under her characters' skin . . . an immensely humane book . . . Jennifer Weiner has been compard to both Helen Fielding and Candace Bushnell but I'd put her in a category of her own' SUNDAY EXPRESS
'With two previous bestsellers about to be immortalised onto the screen - Good in Bed being hailed as HBO's new Sex And The City and In her Shoes as a major film starring Cameron Diaz - it's no surprise that Weiner's latest read is a corker . . . A chick-lit story with self-deprecating humour and a strong undercurrent of gritty realism' JUNIOR
'Immensely readable...Weiner's gift lies in her ability to create characters who both amuse and make us care.' The Washinton Post
'Weiner, a wonderful natural writer and storyteller, renders her characters and their messy, sometimes wrenching lives in details that resonate as the real deal...smart, loveable, and mordently funny.' Publishers Weekly

This is the story of what comes after 'happily ever after' as three young wives make the journey into motherhood, and discover how it changes their sense of themselves and their relationships with friends and family.
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, an event planner who's trying to cram sixty hours of work into twenty-hour weeks, all while charting her baby's every move on a spreadsheet and hoping that her husband will pull his life together, pull on some pants, and find a job. And there's Ayinde, who is married to Philadelphia's most prominent basketball star, until the combination of new baby and infidelity threatens their marriage. As these three grow closer while attempting to put their lives in order, we also come to know Lia, who returns home to Philadelphia after her life in Los Angeles ends in horrible tragedy. By turns moving, funny, and inspiring, Little Earthquakes is a great big delicious read from a prodigiously talented author.
