I just finished this book and found it emotionally heart-wrenching, especially near the end. I won't add any spoilers, but I've started giving a lot of thought about how many of our internal conflicts manifest as external conflicts as a way for us to work things out. Great read, though not recommended if you are looking for a light-hearted, laugh out loud romp. Emily Giffin has certainly matured as an author. A novel with clever interpersonal dynamics, simmering passions, and spot-on cultural references, "Love the One You're With" is a bit more than a beach read, though it's certainly that. The conflict was well-fleshed-out and believable; it shows the "problem with no name" is not confined to yesteryear; the discussions of Ellen's sexual desires were frank without being Harlequiny/squeamish. The last 5% of the book was disappointing, but I'd recommend it overall.
Giffin strings the story along, making the reader hold on just a few more pages for the scandal to finally unfold. Unfortunately, she never really delivers. The drama in the story doesn’t come from anything actually happening. It really only comes from the main character blowing events out of proportion. As in an episode of Full House, nothing bad ever would have happened if Ellen had been honest from the beginning. Onderscheidingen

HTML: 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 questionsâ??and many moreâ??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 fortunesâ??and will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered what if Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

― Emily Giffin, Love the One You're With
I did not like this book.
I LOVE Giffin's books..usually. Plot looked great. But I did not enjoy.
SPOILERS:
Usually I form attachments to the characters she writes because she is so good at writing the,. Not here. I was annoyed with the main character.
And what bothered me is....nothing happens at all through the book. Just alot of secret meetings with the heroine obsessing about what to do. She was really annoying frankly and I usually love Giffin's characters. She is so good at character development.
Also..the two do not have an affair..emotional maybe..but I found myself bored and skimming. I never ever skim Emily Giffin's books. But the repetition of the meetings and the "what should I do" grated on me. This is the only book by this writer I have read that I disliked.
Just a bad fit for me but I was let down. ( )
