Want a good read?

So, I just finished reading, Goodnight Nobody by Jennifer Weiner, and can completely recommend it as a great fast, entertaining, engrossing and funny read. Long ago I had read, Good in Bed, also by Weiner, and loved it. It was a laugh out loud funny and endearing book.

Goodnight Nobody is Weiner third novel I have read. In between I read In Her Shoes, in mass paperback. I bought it at the airport waiting with my husband, for our plane to Lisbon and the start of our honeymoon. This one was okay, but not as great as its hype. The movie version was also just okay.

When I read the back on Goodnight Nobody, I was intrigued. Maybe because I'm about to enter the land called motherhood, or because it talked about the perfect mothers of a town in Connecticut, much like the skinny and pulled together women that surround my sister in her every day life. It pleasantly surprised me as a story of a modern Miss Marple, with three kids and a cool single New Yorker friend, solving the mystery behind the death of one of the perfect mothers she knew from the playground that had always made her feel intimidated and inadequate. Things end up being not as they had seemed of course, as she finds out more and more with her investigation. I read it in two and a half days--it was that good.

I'm off to amazon.com now to get Weiner's Little Earthquakes, which is about a group of mothers who meet at a Prenatal Yoga class--sounds right up my alley. Either way, I think it will be funny and I enjoy her writing style very much. A no brainer if you ask me.
