I don't care how perfect you think they are for each other. It's no secret that I am not in the camp of women that LOVE 'Something Borrowed.' Girls that sleep with their best friends fiances.no, thank you.

And I read them SO fast because I have to know what happens to these awful, atrocious characters! It's this sort of question mark that keeps me buying her books. Emily Giffin's work and I have a relationship in which I go in expecting absolute drivel and she either, a.) surprises the poop out of me and I enjoy the book (Hello, 'Something Blue,' 'Where We Belong' and 'Love the One You're With'), or b.) I curse myself for spending the money on exactly what I knew I'd be getting (everything else she's written).

I'll be honest, I was prepared to hate this book. the one and only thing that truly makes life worth living. Thoughtful, funny, and brilliantly observed, The One & Only is a luminous novel about finding your passion, following your heart, and, most of all, believing in something bigger than yourself. As she finally gives up her safety net to set out on an unexpected path, Shea discovers unsettling truths about the people and things she has always trusted most-and is forced to confront her deepest desires, fears, and secrets. Instead she stayed in Walker for college, even taking a job in the university athletic department after graduation, where she has remained for more than a decade.īut when an unexpected tragedy strikes the tight-knit Walker community, Shea’s comfortable world is upended, and she begins to wonder if the life she’s chosen is really enough for her. Raised alongside her best friend, Lucy, the daughter of Walker’s legendary head coach, Clive Carr, Shea was too devoted to her hometown team to leave. Thirty-three-year-old Shea Rigsby has spent her entire life in Walker, Texas-a small college town that lives and dies by football, a passion she unabashedly shares. In her eagerly awaited new novel, beloved New York Times bestselling author Emily Giffin returns with an extraordinary story of love and loyalty-and an unconventional heroine struggling to reconcile both.
