Emily Giffin perfectly captures the whirlwind of emotions a woman goes through. Ellen's character is very well-developed. To every girl who thought they've let The One get away.

Normally I'm not a big fan of Chick-fic, but hey.These authors know my life way too well.

I really got into this one at first. It only started to lose me towards the end. The main character, Ellen (a freelance photographer), felt genuine and pretty dynamic (which is not typical in chick lit, from my experience), and the story/conflict was very intriguing. One day in New York while walkin...

After reading this book, it made me feel sort of empty...and that's a good thing, right? It did bug me, you know, with all the the one that got away drama...it's just, just like its, erm, gist, This is the story for anyone who has ever wondered: How can I truly love the one I'm with when I can't for...

A very sweet and melancholy love story! Ellen is a confused, newly married woman who runs into her 'most important ex' by chance, and wonders about what could have been.The story was so very real, with her love, her doubts, and her dreams. It was very well written, and so true it made my heart hur...

***More like 3.5 stars***Hey look! I just read a book meant for adults. And it was a completely painless experience. Review to come (probably not until I get home though. Yes, I'm still on vacation).

Love the One You're With is Emily Giffin's fourth novel; I've read them all, and this may be my favorite one yet.It took Ellen Dempsey a couple of years to sort herself out again after the abrupt end of her intense post-college relationship with Leo, the journalist she met during a stint at jury dut...

This book, like her other ones, is another tribute to New York. The couple moves to Atlanta, but Ellen can't stand it there after a while. It's easy to understand, but every book is like this. Anyway, the novel has an easy flow, but sometimes I was wishing the main character would just confess to th...

Why so many italics, Emily Giffin? I get the point without having to see those slanted words.Seriously, almost every page - I'd even guess 90% - has something in italics. (And yes, I'm using these italics to be annoying).Oh, and I wanted to smack the girl in the story, too. I couldn't relate or app...

I have heard this author's books described as "chick-lit for smart girls" and I thought that was a pretty good description. This is another great one from Emily Giffin, a fast and emotional read (I admit it, I cried a couple times LOL) that really makes you think "what if". I found myself as conflic...
