One of the things that I love about Emily Giffin's books is how realistically flawed her characters are. In First Comes Love, we spend a lot of time getting to know two very flawed sisters, Josie and Meredith. Josie and Meredith suffered a family tragedy many years ago. While on the surface they appear to have moved past it, it has clearly shaped their lives and their relationships, primarily the relationship they have with each other. The resentment and frustration they each have towards each other has finally reached a point where it can no longer be ignored, and the two sisters have some harsh truths to face. It was an emotional and revealing read, but also subtle and down to earth. If you like books about family relationships or have enjoyed Emily Giffin's previous books, be sure to read this one.

*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
