More quotes by Emily Giffin
When you’re in love, sometimes you have to swallow your pride, and sometimes you have to keep your pride. It’s a balance. But when the relationship is right, you find the balance.
Emily Giffin
I always find something in common with my protagonist, particularly when I write in the first person.

Throughout the ordeal, I learned that getting mad was easier than being sad. Anger was something I could control. I could settle into an easy rhythm of blame and hate. Focus my energy on something than the ache in my heart.
Emily Giffin
We are in love and meant to be together.

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 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
there is always something comforting about knowing that you are not alone. That other people feel the way you do. That you are a bit screwed up, but still normal.
Emily Giffin
i want to make it official, i want to make it forever
Emily Giffin
And without Dex in my life, I like to think I could have somehow found contentment. But the truth is, I feel freer with Dex than I ever did when I was single. I feel more myself with him than without. Maybe true love does that
Emily Giffin
This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated.
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
I have always been drawn to coming-of-age stories and books and movies featuring compelling young characters.
Emily Giffin
Every couple has two stories - the edited one to be shared from the couch and the unabridged version best left alone.
Emily Giffin
Despite the fact that I have no regrets about how things turned out in my life, I still can't help wanting to understand my intense relationship with Leo, as well as that turbulent time between adolescence and adulthood when everything feels raw and invigorating and scary-and why those feelings are all coming back to me now.
Emily Giffin
I like to match what I wear to my book jacket - it's a little bit cheesy, but it's my thing.
Emily Giffin
True love is supposed to make you into a better person-uplift you.
