Emily Giffin
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can wind up focusing on misleading factors.
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
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 try to be true to the characters that I've created and sometimes I disagree with them, but their opinions about the story and the characters really matter to me.
Emily Giffin
This time, I whispered that I loved him too. Then, I silently listed all the reason: I loved him for his gentleness. I loved him for being an amazing catch yet still vulnerable enough to be insecure. But most of all, I loved him for loving me.
Emily Giffin
In days that follow, I discover that anger is easier to handle than grief.
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.
