Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin

I picked this book because I heard that Emily Giffin was a great author. This was one of her brand new books out. I have yet to read her more popular books Love the one your with, Baby Proof, Something blue, Something borrowed. I do plan on reading them though. I really enjoyed Heart of the Matter. Heart of the matter, was another one of those books where each chapter is a different person talking. In this book it's only 2 characters, so very easy to follow along. Tessa the Wife and SAHM of 2, and Valerie the single mom of a small boy. They some how know all the same people yet not each other until Valerie meets Nick the hot doctor husband..McDreamy from what I gather!
You read to fall in sympathy and love with Valerie from chapter 1. She's a single mom. Valerie and her son go through some trauma and they are all alone. You feel sorry for her and even worse for the kid. It's hard to hate her for wanting more. This is as much as I will tell without ruining the book.
 Tessa. I feel like I could of been Tessa. She's a women who had a great career and ended it to be a stay at home mom. She has McDreamy for a husband that is never home and she feels overwhelmed. Tessa tries to be friends with the women in the neighborhood and fit in with the best schools. I went through such similar things these past few years. Back to Tessa though, she complains way to much and it annoyed me. She then becomes this forgiving wonderful person that I was happy to read she finally found happiness.
I really enjoyed the book I read most of it in 1 day.
Anyone else read this book? What did you think of it?
