Something Borrowed

by Emily Giffin

St. Martin's Press | March 29, 2011 | Trade Paperback

The smash-hit debut novel for every woman who has ever had a complicated love-hate friendship.

Now A Major Motion Picture - In Theaters May 6th

Rachel White is the consummate good girl. A hard-working attorney at a large Manhattan law firm and a diligent maid of honor to her charmed best friend Darcy, Rachel has always played by all the rules. Since grade school, she has watched Darcy shine, quietly accepting the sidekick role in their lopsided friendship. But that suddenly changes the night of her thirtieth birthday when Rachel finally confesses her feelings to Darcy''s fiance, and is both horrified and thrilled to discover that he feels the same way. As the wedding date draws near, events spiral out of control, and Rachel knows she must make a choice between her heart and conscience. In so doing, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren''t always neat, and sometimes you have to risk everything to be true to yourself.

    Think Sex in the City but with More Soul

    Something Borrowed is the story of a smart young woman in New York who falls in love with her best friend's fiancé. Instead of not liking her, which I might be expected to do, I found myself totally rooting for her. This book will never be confused with a great literary endeavour but you will have a blast reading it. It is a breezy, romantic, happily-ever-after story. Think Sex in the City but with more soul, more intelligence. Go for it!

    All women will enjoy!

    A true “chick-lit”, this light and easy to follow novel is perfect for a quick read, or as I read my copy, on a weeklong camping trip. This novel is a fun, emotional, and makes you think about where your priorities lie. When the main character realizes her true feelings for her best friend’s fiancé, Emily Griffins writing leaves you wanting to turn the next page to find out what will happen to the characters next. A great read for teens right up to adults, this story asks the audience, which could you live with breaking, friendship or true love?

    Great Light Read

    After seeing and loving the movie, my friend recommended that I read the book. So I happily dove in. The thing I love about this book is that although the rational part of your brain is telling you that taking Rachel's side is morally wrong, I found myself on Rachel's side from the get go. The book was a light and quick read. A perfect beach read or way to spend your sunday curled up on the couch. As far as chick-lit goes I love this.

From the Critics

"[A] modern-day Jane Austen."--Vanity Fair

"A page-turning, heartbreakingly honest debut."--Entertainment Weekly, "Grade A"

"Hilarious and thoughtfully written. You may never think of friendships--their duties, the oblique dances of power, and their give-and-take--quite the same way again."--Seattle Times

"Delightful, winning, and real."--Glamour
