Her best book...

I've read her other books and would say this is her best book. Well written with lots of descriptives and twists.

Couldn't put it down!

I finished this book in three nights and I couldn't put it down. It's been so long since I read Something Borrowed and Something Blue that I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book but it didn't disappoint. I sympathized with the main character and almost felt like it was me going through her situation. It stayed true to real life and Griffin's comments on life, love, etc. are eerily on point. I think everyone can relate to wondering about the supposed "one that got away." The ending wasn't as great as I'd imagined but it didn't take away from the book. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it!

Enjoyed it!

I have read all four of Emily Giffin's books. I loved Something Borrowed and Something Blue (Blue being the better of the two, IMO). Baby Proof just did not do it for me at all. So I went into this book with some concern (hence why I borrowed it from the library instead of choosing to own it - like I do the others).

In any case, I can honestly say I enjoyed reading about Ellen and the choice she had to make. I think many women can relate to facing the "what-if's" when it comes to their life and their relationships. I felt like I was reading about a friend and her personal struggle with her decision.

My criticism with the book is that I wish as a reader I could have gotten more details about Ellen and Andy's relationship when they were dating. I would have liked to read about Ellen's feelings when she first realized she loved Andy, when they first told each other, etc.... We got all of that with her and Leo, so I felt like Andy was a little bit left out. I also thought the ending was a tad rushed, but then again, maybe there just wasn't much left to be said.

I definitely think she made the right choice though.

How do you know if you?ve found the one? Can you really love the one you?re with when you can?t forget the one who got away?

Emily Giffin, author of the New York Times bestselling novels Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and Baby Proof, poses these questions?and many more?with her highly anticipated, thought-provoking new novel Love the One You?re With.

Ellen and Andy?s first year of marriage doesn?t just seem perfect, it is perfect. There is no question how deep their devotion is, and how naturally they bring out the best in each other. But one fateful afternoon, Ellen runs into Leo for the first time in eight years. Leo, the one who brought out the worst in her. Leo, the one who left her heartbroken with no explanation. Leo, the one she could never quite forget. When his reappearance ignites long-dormant emotions, Ellen begins to question whether the life she?s living is the one she?s meant to live. At once heartbreaking and funny, Love the One You?re With is a tale of lost loves and found fortunes?and will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered what if.
