Love The One You're With

I have just finished book number 1 of L.G's 24 year goals of reading at least 5 chick-lit books.  This is the 3rd book I've read by Emily Giffin, Love The One You're With.

I do like these books. They are easy to read, interesting stories about women at crossroads in their personal and professional life.  The ending always seems to turn out just right for these ladies after having inner conflict and confusion. 

What I don't like about Giffin or her books, is their comparison to Jane Austen and Pride & Prejudice.  Jane Austen's works are classics. Despite the language they are timeless. They are real character development. Austen see through to her characters souls, and as a reader, so do you.  

While Giffin is a good writer, I only see into the main characters' soul...if I'm lucky. If you're looking for chick-lit that is like a chick-flick, read Giffin. You won't be disappointed. Just don't read her if you are looking for Jane Austen.
