I wanted to like this book- but I just couldn't. The opening scene is at a funeral, and this just drags on and on. The characters did not engage me. I also didn't realize exactly where this story line was going to go by reading the book description, but as soon as I started to get an inkling of where it was headed, I started to get pretty squicked-out.
The third time I fell asleep while listening to this made me decide to return it to the library unfinished. I doubt I'll be reading any more from this author.

After I started I kept jumping 50 pages ahead just to get to the end. I did not miss a thing every time I jumped back in the text - no surprises, no excitement. EG could have done the whole story line in 10 pages. Disappointed.

I have always loved Emily Giffin's books, but this one really disappointed me. I tried desperately to read it, but it never grabbed my attention so I quit reading after a couple of chapters.

I really enjoyed this book. I was a little surprised when I saw where the love interest was headed but I liked that. I have always been a sucker for "forbidden" love.

The in depth description of football made my eyes glaze over a little but actually made me wish I liked sports. Man, football fans can be CRAZY.

Overall, a good solid, beach read.

This story kept me intrigued and interested in what would happen next. The author's descriptions of people's personatlities, thoughts and feelings and interactions with one another is so real that I felt like I was living the story, not just reading about it.
