Synopsis...
In
her eagerly awaited new novel, beloved New York Times bestselling author Emily
Giffin returns with an extraordinary story of love and loyalty—and an
unconventional heroine struggling to reconcile both.
Thirty-three-year-old Shea Rigsby has spent her
entire life in Walker, Texas—a small college town that lives and dies by
football, a passion she unabashedly shares. Raised alongside her best friend,
Lucy, the daughter of Walker’s legendary head coach, Clive Carr, Shea was too
devoted to her hometown team to leave. Instead she stayed in Walker for
college, even taking a job in the university athletic department after
graduation, where she has remained for more than a decade.
But when an unexpected tragedy strikes the
tight-knit Walker community, Shea’s comfortable world is upended, and she
begins to wonder if the life she’s chosen is really enough for her. As she
finally gives up her safety net to set out on an unexpected path, Shea
discovers unsettling truths about the people and things she has always trusted
most—and is forced to confront her deepest desires, fears, and secrets.
Thoughtful, funny, and brilliantly observed, The One
& Only is a luminous novel about finding your passion, following your
heart, and, most of all, believing in something bigger than yourself . . . the
one and only thing that truly makes life worth living.

My WoW @ So Bookalicious
I have her novels on my tbr list, but I still haven't read any of them. *hides in shame*
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as you did her previous novels.
Glass @ Ja čitam, a ti?
I loved Something Borrowed and Something Blue by Giffin and LOVED THEM (the film adaptation was such a disappointment, though). The whole Texas/Football setting sounds super interesting and right away made me think of Friday Night Lights.
