Book Review: The One and Only by Emily Giffin

July 4, 2014

The One And Only by Emily Giffin
May 2014 by Ballantine Books

Pages: 432


Synopsis on Goodreads: 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 Thoughts: I love Emily Giffin. I have read all of her books. She is definitely one of my favorite authors. This was my most anticipated book of 2014. I have to warn you that it is different than her other books in some ways but it is just like them in other ways, too. It surprised me many times and it was nothing like I had pictured it would be. I did enjoy it, but I didn’t love the story as much as her other novels. If you love to read about football, you’ll like this one. I felt like she went a little overboard with the football talk considering most of her readers could probably care less about the sport (although, I do love football). I definitely would recommend this one. I gave it 4 stars.

Have you read it? What did you think?
