Belong To Me is beautifully written, and is one of the best approaches I've seen to a multi-perspective story. Especially in the early chapters, de los Santos gives such keenly insightful glimpses into how women relate to each other and see themselves, and how guardedly they dip their toes into trust and friendship that it's almost uncomfortable to read. In the end, though, her reflections on family and love and the sometimes serendipitous-seeming miracle of how people come to belong to us (and vice versa) were very moving. Also, it's just a great story! no reviews | add a review

"Marisa de los Santos's Belong to Me is my favorite discovery of the past years: a terrific page-turner that's also poignant, funny, surprising and deeply heartfelt." --Harlan Coben "Complex, engaging, and surprisingly moving." --Boston Globe The sensational New York Times bestseller from Marisa de los Santos, Belong to Me is a gift for readers, an enchanting, luminous novel about the accidents, both big and small, that affect our choice of friend, lover, and spouse. A story centered around three very different suburban neighbors and what it truly means to "belong" to someone, this eye-opening, unforgettable book is the perfect book club selection--beautifully written, smart and sophisticated women's fiction that invites discussion as it touches the heart--and the ideal companion to de los Santos's previous blockbuster, Love Walked In.
