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…
"Marian Caldwell is in her thirties -- a successful Manhattan television producer -- when the daughter she gave up for adoption 18 years previously shows up on her doorstep. Her carefully constructed life thrown into turmoil, Marian and…

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.
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!

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 …
