Sister stories have always been a favorite of Giffin. In her greatly anticipated new novel, First Comes Love, Giffin introduces readers to a pair of 30-something sisters who find themselves at a crossroads, their fractious relationship colored by a family tragedy 15 years ago. As the anniversary of their tragedy looms, painful secrets from the past begin to surface, and Josie and Meredith must not only confront the long-dormant issues that divide them, but also come to terms with their own life choices. Emotionally honest and brimming with Giffin’s singular insight and humor, First Comes Love is a richly crafted story about family, forgiveness, and finding the courage to follow your own heart-wherever that may lead.

New York Times bestselling author Emily Giffin has been dubbed a “modern day Jane Austen” (Vanity Fair) and a “dependably down-to-earth storyteller” (New York Times), Giffin has penned seven New York Times bestsellers: Something Borrowed (2004), Something Blue (2005), Baby Proof (2006), Love the One You’re With (2008), Heart of the Matter (2010), Where We Belong (2012) and The One & Only (2014). Her seven novels, all filled with endearingly flawed characters and emotional complexity, have resonated deeply with both critics and readers around the world, achieving bestseller status in a number of countries. Giffin resides with her husband and three young children in Atlanta. Her eighth novel, First Comes Love, will be released on June 28, 2016.
