Chicklit fave Emily Giffin's latest novel is about loss: a couple's dwindling marriage, and a single mother's near brush with losing her son in a devastating accident. Their lives intertwine as the stories are told side by side from different perspectives.

I'll start off by saying that this is true to Giffin form - always asking the question "what is a dealbreaker?" I felt sympathy for all the characters to different degrees and was fairly engrossed in the story.

While I found it a decent read, I preferred her earlier novels. This book, as most others, finds a way to tie in characters from before - though I found it forced here. If you have never read Giffin before you will probably not peg the ending. However, if you are an avid fan, you'll see this conclusion from a mile away.

Good read, but not her best.
