Synopsis
Emily Giffin has become a mainstay on bestseller lists with her intelligent and exuberant contemporary romances, and this, her fifth outing, is no exception. Giffin provides another sharp portrait of an adulterous romance, targeting the faux-idyllic marriage of Tessa Russo, whose brother Dex happens to be the handsome hubby from Giffin's previous book, SOMETHING BORROWED. Tessa's husband Nick is a renowned pediatric plastic surgeon who is perhaps a bit too devoted to his job, as he begins to neglect his own family after he bonds with one of his young patients, a six-year-old burn victim--and the boy's sexy single mother, an attorney named Valerie. Tessa and Valerie take turns sharing their side of the story, and, as in all of Giffin's effervescent books, nothing is quite as simple as "he said, she said."
Publisher's Note
Meeting by chance when a fateful accident sends a six-year-old boy to an upscale Boston hospital, the child's mother and the doctor's stay-at-home wife find their lives changing in unexpected ways. By the best-selling author ofSomething Borrowed.
Industry Reviews
The premise is a familiar one, but Giffin injects freshness by getting inside both Tessa's and Valerie's heads and by making both sympathetic, fleshed-out characters. Giffin's talent lies in making her characters believable and reliable, and readers will be enthralled by this layered, absorbing novel." (starred review)

Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin

) This is the first time I have read a book by this author. I can see now why this book was on the New York Times best seller list. Ms. Giffin has the unique ability to put into words realistically, the emotions in really hard situations such as a child burned, raising children, divorce and infidelity. She does it from many perspectives as well. One can see the hurt from the wife's, the husband's and the other women's perspective. Even the childrens emotions are included. It is done so realistically that one feels like you are there and can identify with the different characters. Awesome!! Add to this, the book was a first edition at a really reasonable price that I felt that I had hit the jackpot!! I will definitely look for more books by this author.

) Emily Giffin writes her books in a way that makes her readers feel the complex emotions that her characters go through. In this book, despite the plot of it, the reader does not feel there is a "villian" as most authors would portray said characters as. Instead, she shows both sides of the stories, making you feel real sadness and hope for both sides. While I was hoping that we would find out what happens with Valerie and Charlie (with the phone call) I was still delightfully pleased with the novel overall. The title says it all "heart of the matter". Excellent read and highly recommened.

i love emily's style of writing, i really get involved with the character's lives and sometimes find it hard to put down her books. she uses very little strong language and the sex scenes are tasteful, not voyeuristic.
Pass this one, it will save you time :)

) I bought Heart of the Matter only because it was the book we decided on in my book club that meets once a month. Heart of the Matter did not impress me. The story line was okay but the author had too many descriptions about every little detail that didn't even pertain to the plot of the story. The story itself wasn't very interesting, it was very predictable and I couldn't even get half way through it. If you want to read about a guy who cheats on his wife have fun, but if I could do it all over again, I would have passed on this book :)
