Because I am an adopted only child who met her biological mother on my 54th birthday, I found this novel to be of great interest to me. I was not a huge fan of Marian Caldwell at the beginning of the book. She seemed to be very…

Emily Giffen comes through again with a well written and wonderful story. Her characters are always developed so well you think that you would recognize them in a crowd. She touches on some emotional issues from all sides so you feel you…

Don't understand how this book got such a high overall rating, but then I don't consider myself an expert on chick-lit. If this is considered some of the best of its kind, then that's one more genre off the list. I read maybe 50 pages of…

I couldn't put this one down. A great read all round!

I loved this book and all the twists and turns. Never a dull moment and every chapter made me anxious for the next. From beginning to end I was engrossed.

This book came in a grab bag of romance novels put together by the regional library, "no peeking!" It was so much more. It involves a gut-wrenching story of decisions made when teenage love goes awry, mistakes result in choices made where…

This is definitely my favorite Emily Giffin book and I truly enjoyed reading it. Recommended to anyone who loves Emily's other novels or Sophie Kinsella. In the end, I recommend it to everyone.

I could not put this one down. Emily Giffin's writing just continues to get better with each book she pens.

Great book, couldn't put it down... Even durning my sons baseball games! Very well written.

Emily Giffin writes about what she obviously knows- upper middle class people who go to great schools and are ambitious and successful. This is her first book in which she ventured slightly away from that- the characters of Kirby and…

A delightful book full of insight. Even better, the book improved as it went along until I couldn't put it down but had to read it to the end to find out what was going to happen. Well written- to the point that one hardly believed one…

I, too, don't apologize for reading what some might consider "fluff" but I find Emily Giffin to be smart and funny. I read enough "fluff" to recognize what you should quit reading after 20 pages and what continues to pull you in!

The plot was a bit predictable but it is a very heartwarming story with believable characters. I really enjoyed it.

This is my favorite Emily Griffin novel. Maybe because I was adopted I could I could relate to most of what Kirby was going through.

I love all Emily Giffin books, and this was no exception. I found myself totally into it, dying to know what would happen. That being said, I think this was my least favourite one. Although the characters are all likeable and the writing…

I thought this book was well done in that the voices of the teenage girl and her birth mom suited their ages and situations. I appreciated how each one grew in her self knowledge and how the adopted girl, Kriby, came to understand the…

I have to say this was probably one of my favorite books by Emily Giffin. Which isn't really saying much since most of her books are terrible; with annoying, whiny characters. Although as with all her books, the is still the aspect of …

What an inane book. How does a book like this even find a publisher.
