«Giffin has a way of tugging on our heartstrings while still making us laugh out loud...[a] perfect recipe»
Woman's world
«Emily Giffin's new novel about the legacy of adoption, WHERE WE BELONG, imagines what happens when an 18-year-old girl tracks down her birth mother...the latest in a string of provocative, imaginative novels that began in 2004 with SOMETHING BORROWED. All the characters [here] are on a journey to find 'where we belong,' and Giffin knits together their journeys with a masterly hand»
Seattle Times
«This powerful, moving story about the complexities of family life is a real lump-in-the throat read»
Closer
«In another surefire hit, [Giffin] serves up pathos, humor, and one doozy of a twist»
Entertainment Weekly
«Book clubs will have a field day with this one. Thorny mother-daughter relationships and secrets we keep from loved ones burn up the pages»
USA Today
«Emily Giffin ranks as a grand master. Over the course of five best-selling novels, she has traversed the slippery slopes of true love, lost love, marriage, motherhood, betrayal, forgiveness and redemption that have led her to be called 'a modern-day Jane Austen.' With Giffin's use of humor, honesty, originality and, like Austen, a biting social commentary, this modern-day 'woman's novel' sits easily on nightstands and in beach bags. Even Austen would find it hard to put down»
