First Comes Love by Emily Giffin
What happens when love, marriage and children don’t come in the expected order?
Fifteen years after the tragic death of their older brother splintered Josie and Meredith’s already fragile relationship, the two sisters are following very different paths.
Hardworking, reserved Meredith thought she’d done it all the right way round – married the perfect man, had the perfect daughter – but now she’s wondering if she got the love part wrong.
Impulsive and spirited Josie has been single for years. She wants a child so much that she’s preparing to head straight for the baby carriage all on her own.
As the anniversary of their tragedy looms and secrets from the past surface, Josie and Meredith must come to terms with their own choices. Perhaps they’ll find that they need each other more than they know…
The Kindle bestselling author returns with her second novel, The Secret – a beautiful, tearjerking novel which will be cherished by all those thousands of readers who lost their hearts to The Letter.
