About this listen
New York Times Best Seller •
In this irresistible novel from the author of All We Ever Wanted and Something Borrowed, a young woman falls hard for an impossibly perfect man before he disappears without a trace....
It’s 2 AM on a Saturday night in the spring of 2001, and 28-year-old Cecily Gardner sits alone in a dive bar in New York’s East Village, questioning her life. Feeling lonesome and homesick for the Midwest, she wonders if she’ll ever make it as a reporter in the big city - and whether she made a terrible mistake in breaking up with her longtime boyfriend, Matthew.
As Cecily reaches for the phone to call him, she hears a guy on the barstool next to her say, “Don’t do it - you’ll regret it.” Something tells her to listen, and over the next several hours - and shots of tequila - the two forge an unlikely connection. That should be it, they both decide the next morning, as Cecily reminds herself of the perils of a rebound relationship. Moreover, their timing couldn’t be worse - Grant is preparing to quit his job and move overseas. Yet despite all their obstacles, they can’t seem to say goodbye, and for the first time in her carefully constructed life, Cecily follows her heart instead of her head.
Then Grant disappears in the chaos of 9/11. Fearing the worst, Cecily spots his face on a missing-person poster, and realizes she is not the only one searching for him. Her investigative reporting instincts kick into action as she vows to discover the truth. But the questions pile up fast: How well did she really know Grant? Did he ever really love her? And is it possible to love a man who wasn’t who he seemed to be?
The Lies That Bind is a mesmerizing and emotionally resonant exploration of the never-ending search for love and truth - in our relationships, our careers, and deep within our own hearts.

Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesn’t correct them. Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andy’s childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the "yips": he can’t throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he can’t figure out why.

Adie Lou Kruger’s ex never understood her affection for what her parents called their Cozy Cottage, the charming, ramshackle summer home - complete with its own set of rules for relaxing - that she’s inherited on Lake Michigan. But despite the fact she’s facing a broken marriage and empty nest and that middle age is looming in the distance, memories of happy childhoods on the beach give her reason for hope. But converting the beloved, weather-beaten structure into a bed-and-breakfast isn’t quite the efficient home-reno experience she’s seen on TV.

My name is Courtney Jane Salinger...and I'm sick of games. Sick of the Friday night bar-scene-cum-meat-market. Sick of awful dates and one-night stands, booty calls and guys who don’t call back, mixed messages or no messages and - and - and...I'm sick of all of it. I’m done. It's too hard, and worse: little by little, it's making me hard. It's breaking my heart. What do I want? That's easy. I want a house in suburbia with a white picket fence. I want babies to buckle into a minivan. But most of all, I want to be married. I want a husband.

Now, 18 years later, Bellamy has written a sensational, best-selling novel based on Susan's murder.

The male voices...so irritating
If I have to listen to one more book where the female reader does a male voice for dialogue, I think I’ll scream. I give up on Audible. Just too painful to listen to. Why use the male voice actors to read emails in one chapter, and then not use them for the rest of the book?

Almost 5 stars
Soooo close to 5 stars. I won’t give specifics as to not spoil anything but I’ll say that the romantic side of me and the realist side of me were at odds on this one.
The story had so many elements of Something Borrowed, Baby Proof, and Love The One You’re With. It FELT like an Emily Giffin story. And I love how a few of the characters from her older books make a cameo and how their social circle overlap. And a strong friendship theme is always a win for me.
Pretty predictable in places but also surprising. A lot of the happenings seemed unrealistic or just overly convenient but all in all, very entertaining. The timing around 9/11 had me feeling a lot, and I had a strong emotional connection to many of the characters. Overall, if you like Giffin’s older novels, I recommend.

What a twist!
I love all of her books. This one sucked me in pretty quick with the nostalgia and the story. I was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns.

Loved this story!
Many twists and turns but I was addicted almost right ftom the start. Did not like the very beginning of the story (sounded depressing), but glad i got through it to hear the entire tale. Thank you for a great read!

She never lets me down!!
No doubt Emily Giffin is so talented. She comes up with the best, heartfelt, captivating storylines. I loved this book! I wish she would come out with a couple of a year! I can’t get enough!!

Terrible narration
The narrator sounded like the most vapid and sniveling women. I liked the story but seemed ingenuous and manufactured the way it was read.
