From Publishers Weekly Kathleen McInerney's reading as first-person narrator Ellen is sensitive, nuanced and multilayered, laying bare the conflicting emotions and contradictions in Ellen's heart as she's torn between her loving husband and the old flame seeking to rekindle their former romance. She sounds like she's genuinely thinking out loud, her voice tinged with guilt as she searches for the right words to articulate her confused feelings. McInerney is also spot-on when it comes to adapting vocal directions from the text itself. Listeners are told at various times that a character's voice is weary and very wary or that he speaks wryly, with a suppressed smile in his voice. In every case, McInerney's reading conveys exactly what the text calls for. This excellent production brings out the best in the book. A St. Martin's hardcover (Reviews, Mar. 17).

Can you really love the one you're with when you can't forget the one who got away? Emily Giffin, author of the New York Times bestselling novels Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and Baby Proof, poses these questions―and many more―with her highly anticipated, thought-provoking new novel Love the One You're With. Ellen and Andy's first year of marriage doesn't just seem perfect, it is perfect. There is no question how deep their devotion is, and how naturally they bring out the best in each other. But one fateful afternoon, Ellen runs into Leo for the first time in eight years. Leo, the one who brought out the worst in her. Leo, the one who left her heartbroken with no explanation. Leo, the one she could never quite forget. When his reappearance ignites long-dormant emotions, Ellen begins to question whether the life she's living is the one she's meant to live. At once heartbreaking and funny, Love the One You're With is a tale of lost loves and found fortunes―and will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered what if. Review “In every case, [Kathleen] McInerney's reading conveys exactly what the text calls for. This excellent production brings out the best in the book.” ―Publishers Weekly “I truly don't see myself ever getting tired of Giffin's books – her characters are so authentic, the situations she puts them in are difficult by real, and the writing is very intelligent but funny at the same time…The audio was done very well and I would definitely recommend this one.” ―Book Addiction “[A] wry twist on the classic relationship deal-breaker.” ―New York Times “When it comes to writing stories that resonate with real women, bestselling author Emily Giffin has hit her stride. [Baby Proof] examines the great lengths people go for each other, and is filled with great female characters.” ―San Francisco Chronicle About the Author EMILY GIFFIN is the New York Times bestselling author of Something Borrowed, Something Blue and Baby Proof. She lives in Atlanta with her husband, two young sons and newborn daughter. From AudioFile Photographer Ellen Graham thinks she's got it all. She's happily married to a nice guy, who is her best friend's brother. The Ellen bumps into her old boyfriend, bad-boy writer Leo, on the street. Suddenly, Ellen finds herself questioning the direction her life has taken and wondering if she can truly love her husband if she still has unfinished emotional business with Leo. It's a question Ellen ultimately has to answer for herself. Kathleen McInerney's exuberant, heartfelt narration is a triumph over less-than-stellar material. McInerney lends sympathy to the self-absorbed Ellen and slides with ease into a host of accents ranging from American Southern to South African. A fun but not truly satisfying listening experience.
