The One & Only
by: Emily Giffin
Rating: Not so Wonderful
When I read a book, that I think is "Not so Wonderful", I have to refrain from posting a review, and think about the book before being negative. I am still thinking "not so wonderful" for The One and Only by Emily Giffin.  The book is based in the small town of Walker Texas, and revolves around a relationship of the head college football coach, Clive Carr and Shea Rigsby.  Shea is best friends with the daughter of the head coach, and grows up going in and out of the Carr house as easily as her own.  After graduating from Walker, she continues to work at the college and interact with the Carr family.  When Coach Carr's wife dies of cancer, Shea discovers that she has romantic feelings for the Coach. The book tries to distract from the inevitable, by Shea leaving her job at Walker, and getting a reporting job covering the Walker College football season. Simply written and with an overuse of the word "Coach" is another reason that this book is "Not so Wonderful".
