review 1: In all honesty, I chose this book without reading the synopsis on the back. Instead, the cover looked charming and it was brand spanking new in the clearance shelves of the Half Price Bookstore. Eh. I can see why it was there. Unread. I would give it one and a half stars if I could. I wasn't completely awful.Eve, eight months pregnant, finds out her husband is having an affair during Thanksgiving dinner. She overhears him talking on the phone and the story unfolds from there. The whole premise remains: physical affairs versus emotional affairs? Same? Different? Is one worse than the other?
review 2: This book does not live up to its great title. I was expecting an earthquake at least. But there are no other natural disasters in this book. There is a lot of sulk... moreing and discussing of feelings, and a lot of times when you want to yell at the characters "Just talk to each other!" Maybe that is how therapists feel all of the time. It was a good premise for a story but did not follow through with the writing or super-interesting characters. less
