I love this book!!! It's such a fun, uplifting, easy read. I couldn't put it down and read it in a couple days!!! And somehow managed to end up with 2 copies lol
You know a book has got you when you want to reach inside the pages and throttle someone, yet hug them at the same time. Another great story from Emily Giffin, who is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.
I found the characters easy to relate to and compelling. It's that whole what happens if you bump into your first love after years apart, moving on and getting married... and the chemistry is still there? I couldn't put the book down. I was happy with the ending.
I LOVED this book. It has been a really long time since I picked up a book and could not put it down. I read the whole thing, cover to cover, in less than 2 days. I had never heard of Emily Griffin before I got this book, but I have already gone online and ordered 2 of her other books and I can't wait to read them too. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that loves a good love story. It isnt predictable, and you really feel like you can identify. LOVED IT LOVED IT and I have already told every one of my friends all about it!
I just finished reading this novel by emily giffin,the first book of hers I have ever read.I have to say that I found it hard to put the book down,maybe because I got a kick from reading that Leo is from my hometown,maybe because I could relate to Ellen and her choices in life.Even though the characters are sterotypical,that did not take away from the story in my opinion.I look forward to reading her previous books as well
Below is the review I wrote for this book when it first came out. I figured I might as well copy and paste. This is such a great book.
I've been a fan of author Emily Giffin from the day I absentmindedly picked up her first book Something Borrowed a couple of years back. I loved it and made sure to pick up her next book Something Blue when it came out the next year. And Baby Proof the year after.
Love the One You're With is her latest book release. I picked it up earlier this week and just finished it at around 8:30 this morning.
A quick synopsis: the book is about a woman who's with the perfect man leading her perfect life. Until the guy - the one that got away - comes back into her life and turns things upside down. Sounds like fluff and it definitely is, but it's got a lot of intelligence behind it too. Great for summer reading, as are all of her books.
I find Giffiin's books to be smarter chicklit than your regular Shopaholic series. She delves into some pretty honest and sometimes hard questions about life. If anything, I'd place her next to Marian Keyes, author of great books such as Sushi for Beginners and Anybody Out There? in the chick lit genre.
I picked up this book the moment I saw it on the bookshelf at the store and I have to say that I thouroughly enjoyed this book. Emily Giffin is an author I like to read when I am looking for a light witty read. This book is exactly that. Love the One You're With is the story of Ellen who has the perfect marriage and then one day she runs into that infamous 'one who got away' from her past. If you are looking for a light summer read or a beach book, check out Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin!
