“In another surefire hit, [Giffin] serves up pathos, humor, and one doozy of a twist.”—*Entertainment Weekly*
“Sharply drawn characters and finely honed sensibility add up to a story that’s as bittersweet as an August evening.”—Family Circle
“Book clubs will have a field day with this one. Thorny mother-daughter relationships and secrets we keep from loved ones burn up the pages.”—*USA Today*
“After five charming relationship-themed hits, Emily Giffin had a lot to live up to with WHERE WE BELONG. Luckily, the author executes with a thoughtful finesse that makes this easily her best work yet. [WHERE WE BELONG] is that special type of story that takes priority over getting to bed on time. And the payoff is well worth it.”—Boston Globe
“Emily Giffin ranks as a grand master. Over the course of five best-selling novels, she has traversed the slippery slopes of true love, lost love, marriage, motherhood, betrayal, forgiveness and redemption that have led her to be called ‘a modern-day Jane Austen.’ With Giffin’s use of humor, honesty, originality and, like Austen, a biting social commentary, this modern-day ‘woman’s novel’ sits easily on nightstands and in beach bags. Even Austen would find it hard to put down.”—*Chicago Sun-Times*
“Emily Giffin’s new novel about the legacy of adoption, WHERE WE BELONG, imagines what happens when an 18-year-old girl tracks down her birth mother…the latest in a string of provocative, imaginative novels that began in 2004 with SOMETHING BORROWED. All the characters [here] are on a journey to find ‘where we belong,’ and Giffin knits together their journeys with a masterly hand.”—*Seattle Times*
“Emily Giffin’s WHERE WE BELONG is a literary Rorschach test. The book, while thoroughly entertaining, will also prod readers to examine choices they’ve made in their lives. It will compel them to muse about things they’d like to do over, to do differently, to do better…[and] gracefully examines themes of identity, family and forgiveness.”—Miami Herald
“Giffin has a way of tugging on our heartstrings while still making us laugh out loud...[a] perfect recipe.”—Woman’s World
“Breezy and fun, this is definitely one for the beach bag!”—All You magazine* *
“Giffin’s latest will make you shed a few tears – and call your mom.”—Ladies Home Journal
