Ellen and Andy's first year of marriage doesn't just seem perfect, it is perfect. There is no question how deep their devotion is, and how naturally they bring out the best in each other. But one fateful afternoon, Ellen runs into Leo for the first time in eight years. Leo, the one who brought out the worst in her. Leo, the one who left her heartbroken with no explanation. Leo, the one she could never quite forget. When his reappearance ignites long-dormant emotions, Ellen begins to question whether the life she's living is the one she's meant to live.

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.

Description
Tessa Russo is the mother of two young children and the wife of a renowned pediatric surgeon. Despite her own mother's warnings, Tessa has recently given up her career to focus on her family and the pursuit of domestic happiness. From the outside, she seems destined to live a charmed life.
Valerie Anderson is an attorney and single mother to six-year-old Charlie - a boy who has never known his father. After too many disappointments, she has given up on romance - and even, to some degree, friendships - believing that it is always safer not to expect too much.
Although both women live in the same Boston suburb, the two have relatively little in common aside from a fierce love for their children. But one night, a tragic accident causes their lives to converge in ways no one could have imagined.
In alternating, pitch-perfect points of view, Emily Giffin creates a moving, luminous story of good people caught in untenable circumstances. Each being tested in ways they never thought possible. Each questioning everything they once believed. And each ultimately discovering what truly matters most.

I found this book to be seriously boring and predictable. Not Emily Giffin’s best work.

Great read about relationships
I love stories about moral dilemma, and while this book doesn't exactly fit that category, it does have you asking what you would do and trying to decide who is right and who is wrong. I gave the book a 5, when I think it was more a 4.5 because it's not a book men will read and enjoy. But it certainly deserves more than a 4. Cynthia Nixon does a great job with narration. Highly recommend.

Tough Listen
I found this a difficult book. The female characters were well developed, and I sympathized with both of them. The narrator did a fine job. My problems with this book were the long exposition and rising action. A train wreck in slow motion. The reader can see where it is heading, and because both female characters are likable, it is painful to watch the story unfold. The end is acceptable and understandable. The male character is underdeveloped during the beginning. Almost stereotypical in his workaholic disconnect from the family and his attraction to the "other woman." I found myself thinking that were I a man I would be angry with the portrayal. I'm thinking it must be well written because I had such an emotional response to it, but it was not pleasant or entertaining. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they were toying with having an affair. This book makes a great case for patient confidentiality as well.

Uneven
I am a man, and overall I did enjoy this book. I have read Giffin's other books, and this - in parts - had more substance. Where she got it wrong, all wrong ( I write as a courtroom lawyer and a father of a six year old) was her description of the young boy Charlie ( more like 16 than 6) and Valerie, a corporate litigater, giving not much thought of suing, or when she does, only briefly (" it will not help Charlie"). Um, yes, it would, and - more to the point -corporate litigaters do not think, or talk, or act this way. When Giffin gets away from these depictions and focus on the relationships( the second half of the book)she knows her stuff much better; the dialogue rings more true, and therefore, the book became more enjoyable
Cynthia Nixon is does s great job reading

A Must Listen!!!
It's been 4 hours since I finish listening to this book and I can't get it out of my head. I read mixed reviews about this book on B&N website, but downloaded it any way. It was worth it. A must read or a must listen. The narrator was wonderful and the characters complexed... I liked the little cameo's in this book about Dex and Rachel... I am hoping Giffin will update us on Tessa and Nick in one of her future novels. I loved this book as much as my favorite Giffin Novel Something Borrowed...
P.S... This book will make you cry...

The slippery slope of affairs
This was the first time I’ve listened to Emily Giffin, and I can see why so many readers and listeners love her books. Heart of the Matter is a bit more dismal than Something Borrowed (which I’ve seen in theaters), but draws on the same type of what-would-you-do-if-you-were-in-this-relationship situation.
That is, what would you do if you loved your husband but discovered he was cheating? Or on the flip side, if you were in love with a married man…who was having trouble with his wife? In true Emily Giffin fashion, the answers aren’t always clear as she presents the viewpoints from both sides. Sex and the City’s Cynthia Nixon expertly captures both women’s voices and emotional confusion in this unsettling – yet unstoppable – listen. I had a hard time looking at my husband in the same way after finishing the novel (for awhile, at least).

HoHum
While the characters are nicely developed and the reader does a good job, the book is formula all the way. No plot. Once I realized nothing was going to take this book out of the rut, I was really disappointed. Trite.

A Touchy Subject Handled Delicately
Sadly many people break their marriage vows. Handsome attractive doctors are high on the list (up there with rock stars) as far as opportunity.
The book is well narrated and produced.
I ultimately agreed with how it was handled and the book's "message" which should also be a key part of good marriage vows.

Thought provoking
I was very into the development of this story. I've always held very rigid beliefs about infidelity. The characters' alternating points of view created a believable story that had me understanding the "other" woman. But did not go so far to change my beliefs and cheer for her to get the guy. The reason I gave it 5 stars was because it made me think about the story long after the ipod was turned off and I was doing something else. It stuck with me.
And the narration was wonderful. Wow - 10 stars if possible.

I knew within the first 2 minutes of listening that I had made a great choice. The story was well written, and the insights into female friends, male / female relationships, marriage, etc were spot on. And I never knew that Cynthia Nixon would be so good - great narration choice.

a great read!
i have never felt compelled to write a review but read them all the time when deciding on a book. so i thought i would say how much i enjoyed this book, the reading, the writing and the emotion conveyed. i loved that it showed both sides of the issues - worthy of a read indeed!
