By Emily Giffin
Emily Giffin has been one of my favorite chick lit writers ever since the debut of Something Borrowed in 2004. Her books always have a good heroine, a juicy plot and a touch of romance. I’m not saying she’s our next literary great, but if you’re looking for something fun to read for summer, her novels rarely disappoint. (Plus, something about the pretty pastel cover art is just irresistible!)

Giffin’s latest book is centered on Ellen Dempsey, a happily married photographer from Pittsburgh living in Manhattan. Newlywed Ellen has the perfect marriage, until she suddenly reconnects with a man from her past. Leo is the one who got away, but now he realizes his mistake and he wants her back. Luckily for Ellen, Andy is the ideal husband and she is able to resist Leo’s charms at first. But eventually a romantic plane ride and a lonely new life in Atlanta begin to change her mind.
Readers will root for Ellen and Andy to work things out despite the undeniable appeal of passionate, handsome Leo, who seems to appreciate Ellen in ways that Andy no longer does. As the book nears its final pages, the suspense builds as Ellen’s future becomes more and more uncertain, but the ending is ultimately satisfying and, most importantly, happy.
