The world is not that black and white, Rachel. There are no moral absolutes. It is complex.
Emily Giffin
My relationship with my sister is so central to my life. She's my closest friend, my biggest supporter, and I know she would say the same about me.
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
I think the most well-adjusted people live in the present with an eye toward the future - I'm not among those.
Emily Giffin
Life is about the gray areas. Things are seldom black and white, even when we wish they were and think they should be, and I like exploring this nuanced terrain.
Emily Giffin
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
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
But I have learned that you can't just create your own timetable and will it to come true.
Emily Giffin
His loyalty, so fierce and unwavering, makes my eyes water and heart ache.
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
What if two people want to be your partner, then what?
