Love the One You're With by Emily Griffin

I have read and enjoyed ALL of Emily Griffin's books and this was no exception. This is the tale of a love lost but not forgotten and what happens when there is an opportunity for a second chance.

The main character, Ellen, was dumped by her first love, Leo, an event that served as a catalyst for her career and development as a person. Exactly 100 days after marrying her best friend's brother, Andy, Ellen passes Leo in a crosswalk, which he follows up with a phone call and a brief meeting in a diner. As the story progresses, Leo offers a career opportunity that is too good to resist...leads her to evaluate "what might have been" with Leo. Ultimately, Ellen is forced to look at her life and decide what she wants from it; realizing that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Would I recommend this book? Yes...but I still think Something Borrowed is my favorite Emily Griffin novel :)
