Emily Giffin
A theme in a lot of my books - and in my own life - is making choices that you feel you should make, or what society wants you to make, as opposed to what is truly right for you.
Emily Giffin

Emily Giffin
We both have a lot of growing-up to do... A lot of the world to see & figure out on our own. -- Leo
Emily Giffin
