Emily Giffin
Although I'm sure there are plenty of tall, gorgeous, life-of-the-party guys who are also true to their wives, I happen to believe that a disproportionate number of them are cheaters.
Emily Giffin
you'd do anything to get a soul mate back, right?… I mean, that's the nature of soul mates.
Emily Giffin
Evident in every small act of kindness, it was love as a verb. Love that made me feel more complete than I had ever felt in my glamorous, Jimmy Choo filled past.
Emily Giffin
When I meet someone I like being with more than I like being alone, I'll marry her.
Emily Giffin
And then there is our personal history. Memories only we share. Things not another living soul would understand.
Emily Giffin
In my stories, I think, as I've gotten older, the characters have become stronger and more independent, and more capable of making unconventional decisions.
Emily Giffin
Maybe the thing to do after you roll the dice-and lose-is simply pick them up and roll them again.
Emily Giffin
I'm very open in terms of sharing bits about my life, but I think it's very easy to get a distorted sense of who anyone is through social media.
Emily Giffin
