Publisher's summary

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.

“[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.” —San Francisco Chronicle

winey story

I am usually such a fan of stories of Unrequited Love but I found this book to be a tad bit annoying....
I just wanted to take the lead character and shake her and say, "well you did this to yourself"
All she did was be winey and played the victim in this story.
I loved all of the other books by by this author, but this one, not so much.

Loved her first book

I loved Emily's first 2 books, Something Borrowed and the 2nd Something Blue. I found this book overly predicatable, but I really did have a feeling of loving or hating each Character.

The book was good I would recommand it to people who liked her first 2 books.

Elightening for married couples

I started to get a little tired of the typical titilating affair at the beginning of the story, but was totally satisfied with the reasons for the telling of the tale by the end!

Good Book

This book was good but this authors other books were better. Protagonist was hard to like I thought she was spoiled and ungrateful. But good book>

Very annoying lead character

I completely agree with the previous post. I really like this author, but I kept finding myself wanting at just scream at Ellen for her wishy washy, bring-it-all-on-yourself and whine about it behavior. But on the upside, I would say it's good for a light summer book.

B.O.R.I.N.G

Have you ever loved a bad boy who can't commit, got dumped by him, fell in love with and married the perfect with the perfect family, but miss and want to bad boy anyway? Then you will LOVE this book and give it 4 or 5 stars.
Me, not only did I not relate to the main character, I found all the characters too one dimensional. I didn't like them, much less love them. I listened while driving a long trip thinking it would keep me alert. Mistake! I found I kept daydreaming. And getting sleepy. And it wss only 8 pm. I finally had to pull over to a McDonald's and take a nap in my car, it was that boring.
But I adore the writer herself, and all of her other books. The prose is wonderful. Otherwise, I'd have given it 1 star.

love? Maybe not, but definitly like!

I was introduced to emily giffen through something borrowed, something blue. This book was not as good as the others, but it was worth listening to. The narrarator did a good job and i was not bored once. Worth buying.
