Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

A chance encounter with an old flame in Giffin's bittersweet, sometimes mawkish fourth novel causes Ellen Dempsey to consider anew what could have been. Shortly after marrying Andy, Ellen runs into Leo, her intense first love. Leo, a moody writer, has secretly preoccupied Ellen ever since he broke her heart, so after seeing him again, Ellen wonders if her perfect life is truly what she wants or simply what she was expected to want. This scenario is complicated by Ellen's past: the early death of her mother and subsequent disintegration of her family have left Ellen insecure and saddled with unresolved feelings of guilt. These feelings intensify when Andy's career takes the newlyweds from Ellen's beloved New York City to suburban Atlanta. As Ellen's feelings of inadequacy and resentment grow, her marriage begins to crumble. The novel is sometimes bogged down by characters so rooted in type that they, and the story line, can only move in the most obvious trajectory. However, Giffin's self-aware narrator and focus on troubled relationships will satisfy those looking for a light women's lit fix. (May)

Review

"Giffin’s fluid storytelling and appealing characters give her novels a warm, inviting air, and her fourth is no exception . . . Giffin’s snappy prose makes (her heroine) Ellen’s dilemma compelling, once again proving she’s at the top of the chick-lit pack." --Booklist

"Giffin delivers another relatable and multifaceted heroine who may behave unexpectedly but will ultimately find her true path. Sure to be a hit with the New York Times bestselling author’s many fans . . .” --Library Journal

"Giffin's talent lies in taking relatable situations and injecting with enough wit and suspense to make them feel fresh. The cat-and-mouse game between Ellen and Leo lights up these pages, their flirtation as dangerously addictive as a high-speed car chase. The ending isn't explosive, but what Ellen learns is quietly thrilling: Sometimes, you have to do whatever it taks to be with the one you love." --People
 
"Though it's easy to resent [Ellen] for taking [her] ideal life for granted, Giffin's vivid depictions of Ellen's steamy past with Leo help you commiserate with this realistically insecure woman." --Entertainment Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner!, May 28 2008
By A. Scott (Toronto) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Emily Giffen is back! I was disappointed with her last book (Baby Proof), but she is back to top form with Love The One You're With! With witty dialouge, great characters, and some great plot twists she has you laughing out loud and reaching for the kleenx, and also asking that age old question, what if....
The main character Ellen has what she thinks is the perfect life with her husband Andy... until a chance meeting with an ex-boyfriend has her questioning it all. When Ellen runs into Leo on a street corner all her old feelings bubble to the surface. On one hand she has a steady loving husband in Andy... he is her safty net. Then on the other hand, Leo was a spontaneous passionate love, full of ups and downs. Ellen begins to wonder what her life could have been like had Leo not broken up with her. What follows is a wonderful story of love, loss and friendship.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just ok..., Jul 15 2008
By Cynthia J. Paulus "Cyn" (Toronto) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a huge fan of Something Borrow and Something Blue (both of which I read within 24 hours) this book was fairly disappointing. I couldn't get myself to like to character like I could with the other ones. I just found her to be very selfish and blamed a lot on her mother's death. Alot of those psychological issues were never resolved in the book....anyway, it's not a bad read, but it's not the greatest either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!!, May 28 2008
By Bee "Bee" (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
I loved Emily Giffin from the first moment I read the first sentence in Something Blue. Although I was slightly disappointed with Baby Proof, Love The One You're With captures Emily Giffin at her best. I loved the story from finish to end and could not put it down. The character, Ellen, is completely relatable. I love the people, the story and the setting. Love it Love it Love it!!! Just read it!!
