Baby Proof by: Emily Giffin; Heart of the Matter by: Emily Giffin; Love the One You're With by: Emily Giffin

I have finally finished the five book collection by Emily Giffin. I didn't feel it necessary to create respective blogs for each book because they are generally very similar.

All books were very easy reads all the way through, very entertaining.

All books contained controversial topics that arise in everyday relationships. But, usually, these topics are usually dealt with the stereotypical responses. Spouse is cheating?? Dump the bastard!!! Old lover comes back into your life?? Ignore the bastard, didn't deserve you then, doesn't deserve you now!!! However, life is more complicated than this and Emily Giffin has really captured all sides of each scenario in every book. You end each book not being able to really hate any of the characters no matter what transgressions have occurred.

The lesson I have gathered from these books is that life isn't perfect; there is no cookie-cutter way to deal with any situation in life. Every person is unique, every relationship is different and is only known by those involved in the relationship. Follow your heart... without forgetting what is important in life.
