About EMILY GIFFIN

Emily Giffin, dubbed a “modern day Jane Austen” (Vanity Fair) and a “dependably down-to-earth storyteller” (New York Times), has penned seven New York Times bestselling novels, all filled with endearingly flawed characters and emotional complexity. They have been translated into twenty-nine languages, with eleven million copies in print worldwide and the first, Something Borrowed, became a major motion picture starring Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin, and John Krasinski.
