Heart

What originally drew me to author Emily Giffin's books were the covers. I'm well aware you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover and all but they were just so simple and cute. I read her first three books over the same weekend and now I read her new ones as they come out. I didn't even know she had a new one out but happened to chance on it at the library and then in a sleepless insomniac night, finished it in one read.

I found Heart of the Matter to be different then what I'm used to getting with this author. Different in a good way. It seemed to me that the author has grown a bit as a writer. I enjoyed the lessened fairy tale details that are usually tucked into the pages of her books. I always find the books to be quick reads and a nice escape. This time I enjoyed escaping into a bit more of a realistic picture but still an escape.
