Love the One You're with

by Emily Giffin

The New York Times bestselling author of SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE, and BABY PROOF delivers another captivating, straight-from-the heart novel. This is a story for everyone who has ever wondered: How can I truly love the one I'm with, when I can't forget the one who got away? 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. LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH is a powerful story about one woman at the crossroads of true love and real life.

I have heard this author's books described as "chick-lit for smart girls" and I thought that was a pretty good description. This is another great one from Emily Giffin, a fast and emotional read (I admit it, I cried a couple times LOL) that really makes you think "what if". I found myself as conflicted as Ellen through the whole book, the author writes Leo in such an intense and hot way and Andy in a faithful old puppy dog kind of way, that I wasn't quite sure what I wanted her to do! If you are a fan of chick-lit I would definitely give this one a read.
