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 fiancé. 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.

This is the kind of book you can't put down once you start reading it, and you want to tell everyone around you about it. It is a lot of fun, it made me laugh and cry. I fell in love with Dexter and am looking forward to reading "something blue"

I would rather be punched in the stomach than to be friends with these two women. We live and breathe in a world where there is enough drama and I prefer an immerse myself in feel-good characters that I read about. Although the author had a unique twist to the story at the end, the characters were both a bunch of backstabbers no matter how you slice it. "With friends like these, who needs enemies?" Oh, by the way: can we be more original than use NYC as a backdrop for the location? It's so Sex in the City- in this case, the book doesn't come close.

This is a very well written book. It was very hard to put down. It is for sure a page turner.

I took this book on vacation and really enjoyed it. The author does not waste a lot of time on useless descriptions and things just to fill pages . it was a simple book for girls. I would recommend it to anyone that likes romance type books . now I am on to something blue ..

I got this book through GoodReads' giveaways. Emily Giffin's covers have always attracted me because they look so simple but elegant.
The book is about Rachel, who just turned 30, is not married and is a good friend to Darcy ... until her drunken birthday party where she sleeps with Darcy's soon-to-be husband. Rachel feels horrible and so does Dexter( the Fiance). They vow to never do it again, but soon realize they feel something toward one and other.
Most of the book is Rachel either talking to herself or to others about Darcy. Her friends think has some comeuppance and deserves what Rachel did/ is doing. It was the kind of book I wanted to talk back to and say, "yeah she may have deserved it, but it's still wrong to do." So sometimes the book was a little frustrating, but something kept me hooked to find out what was going to happen.
There is a sequel to this book that is all about Darcy called Something Blue. It may fall in my to be read mountain.
