Product Description
Something Borrowed tells the story of Rachel, a young attorney living and working in Manhattan. Rachel has always been the consummate good girl---until her thirtieth birthday, when her best friend, Darcy, throws her a party. That night, after too many drinks, Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy's fiance. Although she wakes up determined to put the one-night fling behind her, Rachel is horrified to discover that she has genuine feelings for the one guy she should run from. As the September wedding date nears, Rachel knows she has to make a choice. In doing so, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk all to win true happiness. Something Borrowed is a phenomenal debut novel that will have you laughing, crying, and calling your best friend.

Keep them coming! November 30, 2008 I could not put this book down, i had purchased the next two before i had finished this one!
Emily Giffin is brilliant! November 25, 2008 Something Borrowed is one of the best chick lit books I've ever read. Emily Giffin's writing is effortless. She uses few words to paint a picture that is richly vivid. In Rachel, she created a heroine who is easy to empathize with. Giffin revealed her insight into the female psyche through her main character. Rachel does good not because she is straight and narrow by nature but because she is afraid of being caught. Rachel doesn't go for the perfect guy not because she doesn't want him but because she doesn't think she is good enough. Giffin also understands the complexity of female friendships. Rachel and Darcy are best friends despite their core differences because female friends are simply that strong when it has lasted through the years. A betrayal between two girl friends is the highest offense. I have the highest admiration for Giffin's writing. I usually think of chick lit as fluff but Griffin's book need to be appreciated at a much higher level.
Great Book! November 24, 2008 This is a great book to have on your shelf! I would reccomend reading "Something Blue" as well they go great hand in hand!
One of the Best Contemporary Romance I've read!!! November 2, 2008 Emily Giffin's protagonist is someone whom every girl can relate to. I can't say enough of how much I feel for the main character! The story is fast-paced, no nonsense, and believable. Truly an enjoyable read! I couldn't put the book down until the very end, and was so sad when I finished the book, because I didn't want the story to end!!!!
Cute adult chick-lit with more substance than fluff. October 26, 2008 This is my first shot at an Emily Giffin novel after receiving several recommendations from friends and I must say that I was very happy with the selection!
It's a quick read that I found hard to put down. I loved the characters, the forbidden love story... and as a 30 year old myself, the 80s pop culture references were a delightful opportunity to giggle.
