First, I love Emily Giffin books. I love how she writes characters that are flawed and real. Love that her books are great for discussion because people can identify with them. I also like how she doesn’t just toss the characters aside after she writes about them- occasionally they reappear in another book. I knew this little ploy about her (hello Dex and Rachel in The Heart of the Matter) and yet when I picked the new book Where We Belong, it did not even cross my mind that characters from another book, a book that I unfortunately have not read would reappear in the latest book (and spoilers of how their book was!)

Is it a big deal? No, in the scheme of it all, not even a blip on the radar. I’ll still read the other book, even though I know some things about it now. Just a part of me wished I’d thought of the possibility that characters from other books would be in the newest one.

However, if in any way this would dampen your enjoyment of her great books, be advised that if you have not read all the books, to either read them or be ok with the information you will find out while reading Where We Belong. Just a friendly heads-up!
