 Lexxie | Apr 23, 2013 |  What would happen if a short time after you were married - happily - you ran into an old lover - a relationship that ended unsatisfactorily. You never really understood why things changed. And then he offers you phootgraphic work that you really want and you take it. Then the questions start. Do you tell you husband? Nothing has happened - yet. And to complicate things your best friend is your husband's sister. And as if that was not enough your husband has moved you from New York where you loved it to his home state and you are not fitting in there. These are the dilhemmas the main character in this book has to face and work through. A light read with to me predictable ending (  ) kiwifortyniner | Apr 19, 2013 | And yet another good read by Emily Giffin. it took me a bit to get into the story, I admit to that, but once I was in, I could not let go. Really enjoyed the main character Ellen, flaws and all. On one hand I knew what would happen in the end but the author kept it interesting. I now have 2 more books by this author to read. Babyproof and Where we Belong. 3.8 (  ) Marlene-NL | Apr 12, 2013 | **Believing her marriage to Andy to be perfect in every way, Ellen runs into former flame Leo and wonders why she has been unable to forget him even though they brought out the worst in each other suefitz1 | Apr 3, 2013 | I found this to be an interesting book....the age old question of "how do I know HE'S the one"....some parts predictable, some parts a little far fetched and convenient...but overall a good read.

 Giffin strings the story along, making the reader hold on just a few more pages for the scandal to finally unfold. Unfortunately, she never really delivers. The drama in the story doesn’t come from anything actually happening. It really only comes from the main character blowing events out of proportion. As in an episode of Full House, nothing bad ever would have happened if Ellen had been honest from the beginning.

Ellen and Andy's 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.… (more)

The story was so very real, with her love, her doubts, and her dreams. It was very well written, and so true it made my heart hurt for her!
I didn't really like the very last chapter though, and could truly have done without it. This was not really the kind of book that had to have the 'one year later' part. (
