highly recommended

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.

Read it!

I read this book when it first came out, and bought the follow ups as they came out. I wanted to let anyone know that if they have NOT read these books, that you should. I am browsing right now trying to find other authors/books to read and reviews are very helpful. If you like romance, humor, heart touching and heart breaking all at the same time, you will love these books!

I Can't Believe I Enjoyed This Book.

This book came highly recommended by a friend and I'd seen it all over the stores, but when i read the summary I hated the idea of reading about a cheating or adulterous relationship.

In the end, I wanted to know what all the hype was about. And I'm glad I read it. I NEVER would have thought I would have enjoyed a book about a guy who cheats on his fiance! Pig. But it really was good.

I found the plot to be interesting and thought provoking. This book will really make you think. And probably condone something you normally wouldn't. And read it with a friend or book group because you'll want to talk about it. Once I got 3/4 of the way through I could not put it down.

I wish I could give the book 5 stars, but I just struggled a little with Giffin's writing style. It's obvious that she's a lawyer. She hardly used any contractions- which makes a deposition strong, but a fiction book a little cold and choppy.

Don't read before your wedding!

"Since elementary school, Rachel and Darcy have been best friends, with Darcy always outshining Rachel. While single Rachel is the self-confessed good girl, an attorney trapped at a suffocating New York law firm, Darcy is the complete opposite, a stereotypical outgoing publicist, planning a wedding with the handsome Dex. After Rachel's 30th birthday party, she knocks back one drink too many and winds up in bed with Dex. Instead of feeling guilty about sleeping with her best friend's fiancé, Rachel realizes that Dex is the only man she's really loved, and that she's always resented manipulative Darcy. Rachel and Dex spend a few weekends in the city together "working" while Darcy's off with friends at a Hamptons beach share, but finally Rachel realizes she'll have to give Dex an ultimatum." ~ From Publishers Weekly

Admittedly, I should not have been reading this book the week before I left for my wedding, but oh well, I liked it anyway. I have had friends like Darcy who always make you feel about 6 inches tall and it was very satisfying to read about Rachel finally getting back at her toxic friend.

I have very few complaints about "Something Borrowed." While admittedly it was not a riveting story, it was still enjoyable in a chick flick sort of way. Giffin does tend to elaborate on feelings a little much as opposed to progressing her plot, but despite having to skim a few pages here and there the book is charming and has a real-life feel to it as opposed to a corny soap opera motif.

"Something Borrowed" is a fun, no strings attached beach read. I might just even pick up the sequel!

Four Stars.
