Love the One You're With (Emily Giffin)

Another slam dunk for Emily Giffin.  Needless to say I am a devoted fan.  She has, once again, created a scenario in which the reader is anxious to know what will happen.  Although there is a slight de ja vu feeling in how the main character admires her best friend (probably a little too much), it doesn't take away from the main story.

Tempted by her ex, comforted by her sister and loved by her husband, Ellen is relatable and believable.  It is refreshing to have a novelist capable of capturing the essence of modern American women.
