More quotes by Emily Giffin
I've always loved sister stories in fiction, from the time I was little, reading about Beezus and Ramona. I've always wanted to write a sister story.
Emily Giffin
Don't you wish we could pick the people we love? Yeah, I say. Or just make the people we love want the same things we want.
Emily Giffin
Where we belong is often where we least expect to find ourselves—a place that we may have willed ourselves to forget, but that the heart remembers forever.

I had seen the light, come to believe that a wedding should be about a feeling between two people, not a show for the masses...It was a magical, romantic evening, and although I occasionally wish I had worn a slightly fancier dress, and that Nick and I had danced on our wedding night, I have no real regrets about the way we chose to do things.
Emily Giffin
Happiness is the best revenge, you know? Just be happy. It's a choice.

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
I think that we have to consciously be aware that every moment we're in, every different stage in our lives, we can control.
Emily Giffin
But I have learned that you make your own happiness, that part of going for what you want means losing something else. And when the stakes are high, the losses can be that much greater.
Emily Giffin
i want to make it official, i want to make it forever
Emily Giffin
I think of how each person in a marriage owes it to the other to find individual happiness, even in a shared life. That this is the only way to grow together, instead of apart.
Emily Giffin
And then there is our personal history. Memories only we share. Things not another living soul would understand.
Emily Giffin
Maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all.
Emily Giffin
I always find something in common with my protagonist, particularly when I write in the first person.
