In reading the other reviews for the book, I can completely understand how many people might feel confused or conflicted in their feelings towards this book. It doesn't quite "feel" the same as some of Emily Giffin's other novels, and the non-traditional love story was definitely a surprise once...
As a fan of the Something Borrowed and Something Blue books featuring Darcy and Rachel, figured I would read this too to get some insight into their lives pre-college. Darcy was just as self involved (but endearingly loyal to Rachel) as she was as an adult - but on an elevated level because she's...
Because someone once told me that Emily Giffin’s books are formulaic, fluffy, and devoid of any real plot, I’ve avoided them. But I was looking for a light pick-me-up last week, found Baby Proof at the library, and after being captivated from the very first page, I finished this book in 2 days fl...
I drink too much. I have trouble falling asleep at night and even more difficulty getting out of bed in the morning. I can’t satisfy my deep, ravenous hunger, no matter how many comforting white carbs I down. I am lonely, yet avoid my friends, even Cate, and especially April, who has left me mult...
I decide it’s closer to the latter when I get a call from Josie, gushing about how cute Harper looked in her butterfly costume. “Did you get my photos?” “Yes. Didn’t I thank you?” I say, knowing that I did. “Yes,” she says. “You did.” “I’m really glad you stopped over to see her…because of course...
Suzanne asks the following morning when I call her from a gift shop at LaGuardia, give her a rundown of the night before, and solicit her advice about how to approach Margot when we meet her at our gate in a few minutes. “Maybe you’re just being paranoid?”I nervously assess Andy’s progress in lin...
She even has a list of all the places she wants to see, my high school, our church (although I told her we almost never went), Conrad’s childhood home, and Janie’s house.“So how’s Philip?” I ask her as we back out of my driveway. I don’t tell her that I heard her across the hall, talking and laug...
I placed a classified ad and found a young couple to sublet my apartment. Then I sold my tainted engagement ring in the diamond district and my wedding gown on eBay. When I combined the proceeds with the balance in my checking account, I calculated that I had enough money to get through my pregna...
They were surprised by the story, but more surprised that my name was attached to it. A lot of people asked if I was okay. No death threats yet, I told them, although the hate mail was beginning to trickle in from a few Walker crazies. That night, my mother came over in a panic and demanded to kn...
We never go so long without talking. When she finally reaches me, I blame my absence on work, say I have been unbelievably swamped which is true although I have found plenty of time to daydream about Dex, call Dex, e-mail Dex. She asks if I am free for Sunday brunch. I tell her yes, figuring that...
