About this eBook

“Marisa de los Santos’s Belong to Me is my favorite discovery of the past years: a terrific page-turner that’s also poignant, funny, surprising and deeply heartfelt.”
—Harlan Coben
 
“Complex, engaging, and surprisingly moving.”
—Boston Globe

The sensational New York Times bestseller from Marisa de los Santos, Belong to Me is a gift for readers, an enchanting, luminous novel about the accidents, both big and small, that affect our choice of friend, lover, and spouse. A story centered around three very different suburban neighbors and what it truly means to “belong” to someone, this eye-opening, unforgettable book is the perfect book club selection—beautifully written, smart and sophisticated women’s fiction that invites discussion as it touches the heart—and the ideal companion to de los Santos’s previous blockbuster, Love Walked In.

I enjoyed this book. However, I think I would have enjoyed it even more if the punctuation wasn't so bad! On just about every other page there were words strung together not separated by a space, and there were absolutely no apostrophes or quote marks anywhere! So you not only had to read the sentence before realizing who was saying what, but "I'd" became Id, "She'd' was shed, "He'd" became hed. I found this to be a bit distracting. As I said, I enjoyed this book, but whoever did the proofreading on this did a terrible job.

This book made me laugh, cry, and think much harder than I would've thought. My only complaint is that the author used a lot of long, flowery metaphors that were sometimes distracting, but the characters were genius and unique. Well thought, well written!
