Who Do You Love: A Novel

Very cute story, a little Nicholas-Sparks-ish with the true love part but the story line was great. I felt like I couldn't wait to read what would happen next and every time I thought I knew where it was heading the story shifted gears a bit.

I love Jennifer Weiner's style of writing. I love dogs and love reading about them and how devoted and faithful they are to us humans. And how they help us overcome our problems. I liked Maggie as she tried so hard to overcome her difficulties. And she helped others and put their problems first. She was a courageous young woman. There were enough twists in the plot to make it interesting. I plan to read it again. I know I will see something I missed the first time through the book. I look forward to Jennifer Weiner's new books and always read them. The characters are interesting and personable. They are normal people with problems and they find ways to work through them. You will enjoy this book. I did.

Great story of characters who must find out who they are in order to learn who they love.

Jennifer Weiner does a great job drawing you into the characters and the life experiences that make them who they are. From the start you find yourself wanting to read on to see how the main characters fair through life.

This book kept me engaged for about four hours on a plane ride but never was I entranced. The author knows her craft and which buttons to push but it was so formulaic and full of cliches that reading it was a little like painting by numbers.

Rachel, a rich Jewish kid, meets Andy, a poor half-black kid with a white single mother when they are both around nine. She was born with a heart problem and needs lots of operations. He's broken his arm. They meet in the hospital ER - and there is a sweet, childlike connection.

They meet again when they're 16 on a Habitat for Humanity project in Atlanta and this time there is an adolescent with raging hormones sexual connection. And they keep meeting every so often, becoming lovers, even as their lives take them in different directions, He becomes an Olympic athlete, she a social worker. They meet and in her case marry others and have ups and downs and highs and lows.

I really felt cheated by the end of the book. It felt so profunctory as if the author was sick of the book and just wanted it to end.

Oh, how I've missed Jennifer Weiner's characters!!! I always feel like I've made new friends after reading her books and these particular characters, Rachel and Andy, are now among my best friends. The journey of their life's from the 80's to the present was like looking at a family photo album that Mr. Sills had lovingly put together. Thanks you, Jennifer for bringing these people to us!

A wonderful woven story about real life and love. How people change over a passage of time. Even thought it was a mite predictable, I found it warmhearted, tender and intimate. Loved the ending. Life just has to sometimes take its course even if the passage of time is great. A good, solid read.

This book was amazing! I LOVED it. What a wonderfully, well written story of love stretched over a couple decades. I wasn't too thrilled about reading it for my book club, but it turned out to be one of the best books I have read in a long time! Worth the time! Excellent story!

Jennifer never disappoints, but Who Do You Love was one of my favorites. I always read the last few chapters of her books very slowly
because I never want them to end. Hope you're working on a new one, Jennifer!

This was a good story albeit predictable. I enjoyed the book but not as much as some of her others. It ended rather abruptly and she tried to tie up too many lose ends in the final few pages. You should read the book, overall was an enjoyable read.

A good, heartwarming book. The story was written from the viewpoints of both Rachel and Andy, and it was exciting to read about them both growing as individuals outside of their relationship story. The ending felt a little rushed, but overall it was an enjoyable, easy read.

Captivating and charming love story.....has me wanting to know more about Rachel and Andy. I really enjoyed not only how the book is formatted (changing perspective)but the infusion of historical events to enhance the characterization. Once again Jennifer Weiner does not disappoint!

I am guessing that the editors push Jennifer Weiner to write in more explicit sex scenes than are necessary for character development to better sell her books. Maybe that works, I don't know. This story of a Jewish girl with a heart condition and a poor boy who escapes poverty by becoming an Olympic runner is, well ... Okay, I guess. The characters do things totally out of character to move the plot along, have lots of explicit sex, break up because who knows and improbably find each other for the requisite happy ending. There were parts of this book that could have been great if they were part of another story: a girl who undergoes multiple heart surgeries as a child, a boy who discovers his father is alive when he thought he was dead, the cost of fame and celebrity, settling for something less than you actually want ... all really good aspects of a good story. For me, even though there was all of this and more, it seemed like the author just threw a bunch of scenarios together, mixed in lots of sex scenes and ended up with a half-baked story.
