No no no. I didn’t know what this book was about based on the brief synopsis, and I don’t read comments on here before reading. Halfway through the book Valerie tells her brother that she can’t stop seeing Nick. What a load of baloney. I hate cheating stories, and I don’t feel sympathy for people who cheat. It’s not a story I’m interested in reading about.

I'm going to have to think about this one for a bit. I borrowed it from a friend and I'm anxious to talk to her about what she thinks! Also, maybe I should read Baby Proof just to complete the works of Giffin?

For a book written from two points of view, it's weird that one of them is written in "I" and the other one is written in "she."
I was hoping it would be as good as her earlier books but it wasn't

There is something about Emily Griffin's books that just pulls me in. I can't pinpoint what "it" is exactly, but Heart of the Matter was no different. I listened to this on CD and found myself sitting in the car in the parking lot...just sitting, listening. I hate Nick. I love Tessa. Valerie...well she is somewhere in the middle. And of course there is a great shout out to Shriners. Go Shriners!!

The middle of this book was like an accident about to happen, I couldn't look away even though I knew it wasn't going to be good. The ending surprised me though.

Was left with the same feeling after I read "Love the one you're with". Seems cheating spouses is her favourite theme. Weak unlikeable characters too.

We’ll written and captivating. However I didn’t like the ending and hate two of the main characters.

3.5 Had a hard time imagining a Wellesley prof on the tenure track would ever give it up to be a stay-at-home mom. But I appreciated the care and sympathy with which Giffin portrayed all three parties.
