::Spoiler Alert::
I love Emily Giffin. I have read just about every book she has written. This one, however, is nothing like her previous books. It's a more serious book. I was excited to know it was set in Boston where I live, and I love how she made each chapter the the point of view of the two women involved, switching back and fourth between the two.
When it came to the story, I very much disliked Valerie. Knowing Nick was married with two children of his own. It was like she cared more about getting Nick in the sack than she did about her own son's medical issues. Nick was a jerk and Tessa should never have taken him back in the end. It was sort of like the ending made it out to be all Tessa's faults and flaws that led her husband to want something more from someone else. It thought it was an overall good book, well written, just disliked how it ended.
