I love Emily Giffin books, but this was so predictable and cheesy.

It was a great story, story line was not what I expected it to be but still an easy, heartfelt read. I wish there was an extra chapter or even a follow up book to know what happened after the final scene...

It wasn’t nearly as good as her original 3 books it seems like there’s becoming a decline. Daughters don’t just suddenly let their best friends start dating their dads with a simple change of heart. This wasn’t a realistic story of wanting what is best for people.

I’m such a fan of Emily Giffen. I love reading her books and typically glued to every page of her books, but I kept waiting for this novel to pick up and it just didn’t for me. Three years later and I haven’t completed it. I will go back and attempt to finish it at some point, but it was hard to capture my attention.

This is the worst book I can remember reading, and I typically like this author. The main storyline was very inappropriate and I hated where the main character ended up. At the beginning she wanted to change her life and she wound up exactly where she started without much putting much effort into improving. Don't bother spending the money.

This book has no redeeming qualities.. save your time reading a different book

I wanted to review this book because when I was deciding whether or not to purchase, I felt very conflicted by the many negative reviews I saw. I have previously read Something Borrowed and Something Blue and I loved both of them. I was confused by the negative reviews on this book because I had had great experiences with Emily Giffin books before. I am so glad I disregarded the negative reviews and purchased this book. I love that Emily writes about unconventional relationships and tells their stories. I honestly think that there are two reasons people gave low ratings to this story: 1.) The heavy incorporation of the football world, and 2.) the main relationship (don't want to give any spoilers!). I personally and a football junky just like Shea so this was an asset to the story in my opinion. Basically, I just wanted to review this story because I couldn't put it down, I loved it, and I almost missed out on it because of other people saying it wasn't as good as her others. I say...buy the book!!! The only reason I don't give it the fifth star is because I felt that it wrapped up a little too quickly in the end, but either way, wonderful story.

I have every one of Emily's books and I love them, but I just can't finish this one. I see where this story is going, and the way it's being told just doesn't keep me interested :( If this is your first Emily Giffin book all her work is amazing just not this one unfortunately.

I kept waiting for this book to get exciting or give me something to care about but it never did. As a fellow lover of football I would've expected to connect with Shea, but I ended up disliking her quite a bit. I can forgive a lot of issues with a book if the characters are well developed but every single one fell flat. Cliches abound. I'm not offended by Shea's relationship with Coach the way some readers are, but I also didn't believe in their love story. It rang false. Her incessant obsessing about him in the beginning was obnoxious and their entire buildup lacked emotion. It would take way better writing for me to believe that a girl who grew up with a man being her father figure and vice versa could have romantic feelings for each other. The way it was written feels like on her side it screams "daddy issues" and on his side he's a pervert. I could've possibly gotten behind it if it wasn't played out so hurriedly and awkwardly. Lucy came off self absorbed. Ryan was a tool. Miller was an idiot. Why the coworker (graham?) was thrown in there and then not even given a storyline is beyond me. Also, I like country music, but the references seemed random and not even adding to the story. I normally like Giffin, so this book was really a shock to me. I honestly didn't like anything about it.
