Love the one you're with is the third novel by Emily Giffin I've read in the past month or so. This book does not have the same characters as the other, which was somewhat disappointing and somewhat of a relief. Giffin writes a lot about infidelity. People cheating, people thinking about cheating, or people wondering where that line is between cheating and not cheating.
Ellen runs into her former love, Leo, on a New York street. Leo, a journalist, lands Ellen, a photographer, an awesome work gig. Ellen doesn't tell her husband, which is the beginning of the snowball that continues with lies, deceits, secret meetings, and a move out of NY. Motherless Ellen moves back to her husband's hometown of Atlanta and finds herself disenchanted, lonely, and bored. Family and old money don't make anything perfect, and Ellen realizes everything she thought she wanted don't fulfill her at all.
I think this is the last Giffin book I'm going to read. I need a break! These books masquerade themselves has chick lit, but they hide deeper issues that are hard to read sometimes.
