Anyone familiar with Emily Giffin's books (Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Baby Proof, Love the One You're With, Heart of the Matter)?

For some reason I think I'd like them, but I haven't read any yet, and I don't think I can get samples. How would you describe them?

I've been meaning to try some of her books as well.  I read the back cover of one at the airport recently, but couldn't tell if it was solidly in the chick lit category or not.  I'd be willing to try it either way, but just like to know what to expect before starting.  Wink

Good author for lovers of chick-lit.  As one who reads a mix of books, I do find her books enjoyable when I feel like a light beach read.  I do think her first books "Something Borrowed" and its follow-up "Something Blue" were the better ones.  But that is not uncommon.

I think I've read all of them. I really like her writing. Her stories are a little more realistic than the fluffy chick-lit out there.
