Publisher Description

How do you know if you've found the one? Can you really love the one you're with when you can't forget the one who got away? Emily Giffin, author of the New York Times bestselling novels Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and Baby Proof, poses these questions—and many more—with her highly anticipated, thought-provoking new audio novel Love the One You're With. Ellen and Andy's first year of 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. At once heartbreaking and funny, Love the One You're With is a tale of lost loves and found fortunes—and will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered what if.

"imo, this is the best of all emily giffin books. while you feel like screaming at the main character all the way through, you can also get into her head and feel how torn she is.... i think something interesting about her novels is that while they're always about "love" they're also always very insightful about female relationships. also - I love the ending of this book too. very very good."

— B (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “In every case, [Kathleen] McInerney's reading conveys exactly what the text calls for. This excellent production brings out the best in the book.

    — Publishers Weekly
  • I truly don't see myself ever getting tired of Giffin's books – her characters are so authentic, the situations she puts them in are difficult by real, and the writing is very intelligent but funny at the same time…The audio was done very well and I would definitely recommend this one.

    — Book Addiction
  • [A] wry twist on the classic relationship deal-breaker.

    — New York Times
  • When it comes to writing stories that resonate with real women, bestselling author Emily Giffin has hit her stride. [Baby Proof] examines the great lengths people go for each other, and is filled with great female characters.
