There are a host of other issues packed within these pages—relationship baggage, infidelity, dishonesty, date rape, divorce . . . it’s a bit much. While the ending is a little unexpected, it still feels deflating somehow. I can’t help but to think, if Giffin would have focused in on a few key issues, instead of trying to color with every crayon in the box, the big picture might have been more impactful. This book surprised me by how much it affected me. I actually felt deeply discomfited and sad while reading it. I've never read Emily Giffin and, to be honest, if I didn't find it lying in my library, I probably wouldn't have. But, I liked how everything came together and especially loved the epilogue.
