If you can’t forget the one who got away, can you truly 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.
Then, 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.
LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH is a powerful story about one woman at the crossroads of true love and real life.

Perfect for the Friends Reunited generation ... Read it if you've ever wondered "what if..."
Giffin's talent lies in taking relatable situations and injecting with enough wit and suspense to make them feel fresh. The cat-and-mouse game between Ellen and Leo lights up these pages, their flirtation as dangerously addictive as a high-speed car chase ... what Ellen learns is quietly thrilling: Sometimes, you have to do whatever it takes to be with the one you love
Though it's easy to resent Ellen for taking her ideal life for granted, Giffin's vivid depictions of Ellen's steamy past with Leo help you commiserate with this realistically insecure woman
Giffin is a masterful storyteller and manages to infuse energy, freshness and suspense into what could have been yet another predictable 'woman-at-a-crossroads' story. (Giffin could, in fact, teach some literary authors a few things about how to write compelling plots with strong motors.) The best thing about this book is Giffin doesn't play it safe or shy away from allowing her heroine to explore lust, infidelity and the road not taken
