In this sparkling and wise debut novel, The Atlas of Love, Frankel's unforgettable heroines prove that home is simply where the love is.

It's a great book if you're a sex and the city fan. Kind of reminded me of Miranda in the sense that it's not easy being both a successful woman and a first time mom at the same time. It also shows the challenges friendship goes through when faced with such challenges. Although I didn't like Jill as much towards the end, I enjoyed the book thoroughly and definitely recommend it.
