In Love the One You're With photographer Ellen Graham is facing an age-old conflict: Will life with her caring, stable husband, Andy, ever be enough for her? Or, was she really meant to be with Leo, a sexy, soulful journalist whom she bumps into eight years after they broke up? As she struggles with those questions, we witness the Pittsburgh native fret about her place in her hubby's affluent, Southern family. Though it's easy to resent her for taking this ideal life for granted, Emily Giffin's vivid depictions of Ellen's steamy past with Leo help you commiserate with this realistically insecure woman. B+
