Where We Belong by Emily Giffin Review



Where We Belong is Emily’s latest novel.   I had the honor of going to see her on tour for it. 

Where We BelongSynopsis:

Kirby has known that she was adopted for a longtime.  On her eighteenth birthday, the adoption agency will give her information about her birth mother.  This information would help Kirby so much with making her future plans.  Meanwhile in New York Marion is making plans for her show that she produces and the man she hopes to marry.  Then she gets a surprise visit from Kirby which unravels more questions for her and her future.  Kirby gains more answers as she spends time with Marion.  Will they both be happy?  How will this affect their future?

My Thoughts:

I have been on the waiting list for a long time for this novel.  I always look forward to a new novel from Emily Giffin.   She always writes with such passion and has great characters.  Emily even spoke on tour about wanting to make sure she got the mindset of the eighteen year old correct.  I feel that she did a fairly good job in this area.   I found the novel very interesting!  Adoption is not an easy topic to write about.   

The plot twists were great in this novel!  I never expected that Marion would have the conflicts that she did.  I felt that the opposite was true for Kirby the more answers she received the less conflicted she seemed.

It is also a nice touch that Emily reintroduces characters from her other novels. Hint you have met Ben and Claudia before.

    I've been considering this book, so I'm glad to come across your review. I loved Giffin's Something Borrowed and Something Blue, but I haven't liked some of her other novels quite as much. I'm on the fence about reading this one.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa from their  author site.   I am so thankful for their support. I also had an opportunity to feature Liz and Lisa’s novel Your Perfect Life .   I live in the Atlanta area and get many opportunities to meet some great authors.   Some t
