Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A woman is newly engaged to a man she adores when she receives a call from her first love with news that shatters her carefully ordered world, in this emotionally powerful novel from the author of All We Ever Wanted, The Lies That Bind, and The Summer Pact.
"Remember Sweet Home Alabama? Giffin has given us a modern Midwestern update of that classic story.”—The New York Times Book Review
Billie has built the perfect life. Her medical practice in New York City is thriving, and she’s finally found the right partner in Dean after years spent trying to move on from her high-school sweetheart, Mick. Their young love had been intense and true, but distance and ambition pulled them apart when she left Wisconsin for medical school.
Then one morning, just after she’s accepted Dean’s romantic marriage proposal, Billie’s phone rings. It’s Mick—calling for the first time in nearly a decade. His news is urgent and in a moment, everything changes.
As Billie boards a plane back to Wisconsin, her past comes rushing in—her hometown friendships, the love she and Mick shared, and the choices that shaped them all. What awaits her is a reckoning with what she’s lost, what she’s built, and what she still wants.
Gripping and deeply moving, Love You More is a story about the plot twists life throws at us—and how love, in all its forms, has the power to change everything.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A woman’s picture-perfect life is thrown into disarray after a tragic accident in this poignant romantic drama. Billie, a successful doctor in New York City, has just gotten engaged to her boyfriend, a fellow doctor named Dean. But when her old high-school sweetheart, Mick, calls her with heartbreaking news, she’s forced to return to Wisconsin. There, she makes an even more shocking discovery: Her feelings for Mick never disappeared—they simply went dormant. And now they’re rushing back. Author Emily Giffin skillfully illustrates how even the most well-meaning person can make mistakes on the uncertain road to happiness. We were absorbed by Billie’s impossible situation, where any decision she makes is sure to hurt someone, including herself. Fans of Giffin’s The Summer Pact will love this story about the ways love can tear us apart and make us whole again.
Customer Reviews
So good!
Couldn’t put it down. I wanted more.
Not great but I finished it
This book was not great. I didn’t really get deep with any of the characters and didn’t feel the love of the main couple. That said, it was easy and satisfying in a predictable and formulaic way, so give it 2 stars.
Egads the Minutiae
Too much driveling detail. Story could have been told in 30 pages. Like reading someone’s diet diary.
