Funny book about three pregnant women.
  bentstoker | Jan 26, 2024 |
Four mothers, three babies, and four vastly different circumstances. Written from alternate perspectives, this story of interconnectedness reveals the importance of friendships among women in somewhat similar circumstances and the need to truly know what fathers are thinking. ( )

SPOILERS Parts were great. I even managed through all the birth scenes. Becky seemed the most like author and was strongest character, though Kelly's arc was also strong. Two main issues with it: ALL of the dads were clueless?? None of them truly contributed because the moms were breastfeeding and it all went from there?? I guess Becky's husband contributed some. If the characters had just communicated ... Second, Ayinde: not a good example of a black character written by a white writer. Did not ring true in many ways. And the clichés of the Black husband as from a sad background, an athlete, and a cheater? Nope. ( )

Epigraph
"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were
lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to
tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you
and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a
thing that happens to you. when a child loves you for a long,
long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then
you become real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truth-
ful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

First words
I watched her for three days, sitting by myself in the park underneath an elm tree, beside an empty fountain with a series of uneaten sandwiches in my lap and my purse at my side.

Book description
A ​történet négy várandós nőről szól, akik egy szülésre felkészítő kismamajóga foglalkozáson barátkoznak össze. Újdonsült anyaként mindannyian próbálnak megfelelni a gyereknevelés kihívásainak és alkalmazkodni az új élethelyzethez. Nagyjából a kicsik születése utáni első időszakot kísérhetjük nyomon ebben a szívhez szóló – olykor szívszorító – mégis rendkívül szórakoztató, könnyed hangvételű regényben. A kis csapat lelke Becky, a duci de szexi séf. Férje csodálatos, kislánya imádnivaló, étterme elismert – csak az anyósa ne viselkedne hajlott kora ellenére is bakfisként… Ayinde, a sikeres riporter azért költözik Philadelphiába, mert férjét, a hivatásos kosárlabdázót a helyi csapat szerződtette. A férje felelőtlen kalandba keveredik, és a család magánéletén boldogan csámcsog a közvélemény… Kelly rendezvényszervező, és nehezen egyezteti össze munkáját a gyerekneveléssel, miközben úgy tűnik, munkanélküli férje tökéletesen elégedett azzal, hogy napi nyolc órában a tévé távirányítóját nyomkodja… Lia sikeres hollywoodi karrierről mond le, amikor férjét elhagyva visszaköltözik szülővárosába, Philadelphiába, hogy egy tragédia után új életet kezdjen… A négy barátnő mindenben támogatja egymást.
