When successful attorney Emily Hexby abruptly ends her happy relationship as her boyfriend is on the verge of proposing, she can't explain why. But deep down she knows the breakup stems from a sense of emptiness she can't control. As the holiday season looms, her world begins to unravel: Her beloved grandfather falls ill, her job becomes unbearable, and her father grows distant when she needs him the most. Emily realizes she must stand down the elements of her life that are leading her into a tailspin in order to become the person she's always wanted to be. Brimming with wit and intelligence, The Opposite of Love will have readers regretfully turning the final pages--but enthusiastically handing it to a friend to share the season's most engaging debut.
