by Jennifer Weiner
When Becky, an overweight chef, meets Ayinde, the biracial wife of an NBA star, and Kelly, an overachiever struggling to overcome her chaotic childhood, at a prenatal yoga class, all three women soon unexpectedly find themselves relying on each other for everything from bathing newborns to unemployed husbands. When Lia, a mysterious woman running from a tragedy, joins their group, the women find that together, they can survive anything. Even the first year of motherhood.
At times funny, at times heartbreaking, and sometimes both at the same time, Weiner delivers one her best I've read so far. Told in alternating chapters by all 4 women, Weiner has the ability to give each character her own voice, without shorting anyone. I was in tears with Lia's story, laughing out loud with Becky, sympathetic of Ayinde, and wanting to shake some sense into Kelly.
My only complaint about Jennifer Weiner's books is that I never want them to end.
