The Lies That Bind
by Emily Giffin
First off I want to thank @emilygiffinauthor for sending me this arc.
#theliesthatbind was an absolutely amazing read that I completely devoured in a day! A story of love, loss, self discovery, second chances, lies and 5 degrees of separation. I've enjoyed all of Giffin's amazing novels but in The Lies That Bind I knew I was going to love it when she mentioned the tv show friends in the first chapter, a couple pages later ER the tv site is mentioned, both of which I also love. I loved the characters, the plot, the raw and realness of the story. I felt for Cecily as she went through every step, and all the hardships, that helped her evolve as a woman and helped her grow. I loved all the little twists that Giffin through into the plot, it made for a very entertaining and enjoyable read. I would highly recommend.
Cecily just broke up with her long term boyfriend and decides instead of staying home wallowing in self pity to go out to a bar. She meets Grant, who seems too good to be true. The only thing is he has plans to travel to London until the fall. Cecily understands and decides he's worth waiting for. When he returns the world is turned upside down by 9/11. Cecily is frantic and finds a missing person's poster with his face on it, only to discover that Grant's wife posted it. A wife? If he lied about being married what end did he lie about. As Cecily is trying to wrap her head around Grant and 9/11 her ex, Matthew comes back into her life. Next thing she knows she's engaged, still thinking about Grant and now friends with Grant's Wife. During wedding planning Cecily also discovers she's pregnant, and the father could be Grant or Matthew. Will Cecily ever tell Matthew and Amy the truth about Grant. Will the wedding go on?
