As it seems with Giffin’s novels, just when you think you have the plot figured out, it spins in another direction. Love the One You’re With is no different, keeping readers on their toes with compelling drama, heart-stopping moments, and suspense that keeps the story line moving at a fast pace. I found this novel to be fresh and relatable, and really causing me to think about my life and goals, and I love when my readings can have that effect on me.
Halloween time is approaching! I for one have always been a fan of the holiday, loving the costumes I get to put myself into and of course- an excuse to eat a ton of candy! My roommate did the unthinkable- bought four bags of mini candy bars and put them in a bowl on our table. She thought we could hand some out come trick or treat time in our neighborhood. Well of course, they are just about gone now, compliments of my huge sweet tooth. We will definitely have to buy more candy if we plan on handing it out! I am still deciding what to dress up as for the costume contest at my hospital job- I’m thinking a giant M&M (my favorite candy!) Hope everyone enjoys the holiday this weekend!
Khloe Kardashian is still wanting to let people know that her and Lamar’s quickie marriage is for real. Lamar and Khloe are both sporting new ink- tattoos of each other’s initials. Khloe has LO on her right hand and Lamar has KO on both hands, as Khloe wrote in a new blog post. She states that she got the idea while having dinner with Lamar, and the decision was spontaneous. This is Khloe’s third tattoo- her previous are in honor of her late father- “I Love You” in her father’s handwriting on her wrist, and “Daddy” above a cross and angel wings on her lower back.
I was surprised at the next event- a divorce. I thought no way would Claudia divorce someone she loved so much. Wouldn’t she just have a baby? No way. Claudia was firm about not changing her mind, as was Ben, and quickly a divorce was under way. Emily Giffin gives readers a thoughtful, heart-warming, irresistible to put down third novel with Baby Proof and the challenges that the heroine faces after leaving the love of her life. Even if you have never been married or thought about having children (like myself) I was immediately drawn into the plot. The writing is personal, the narration is to the point, and the characters are wholly believable.
Original Cyn by Sue Margolis has interesting parts, but generally the plot is too slow moving. There is not enough suspense and build-up of the main character stealing another’s identity. I found myself uninterested in turning the pages. The characters are humorous, with a gay best friend and foreign import turned love interest for Cyn’s best friend, but overall, I wasn’t excited about this un-inspiring novel.
Ivanka Trump, daughter to Donald Trump, has married New York Observer owner Jared Kushner on Sunday in New Jersey. Usmagazine confirmed the marriage.

Just a few of the bombshells from her book include snorting meth in a bathroom stall at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s New York Minute premier in 2004, starting ecstasy in high school and moving on to meth in college, and being removed from Candace Cameron’s wedding after getting so drunk she vomited- at age 14. Sweetin says she has been sober since December of 2008 after almost losing her daughter in a custody battle, and credits going to AA meetings and staying away from people that have drug and alcohol problems to her continuing sobriety. Jodie Sweetin’s memoir, unSweetined, is due out on November 3rd.
