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.
Praise For Something Borrowed…
"A modern-day Jane Austen." —Vanity Fair
"What kind of self-described ‘nice girl’ would sleep with her best friend’s fiancé? One who’s seriously flawed, like this delightful debut novel’s heroine, but also surprisingly winning and real." —Glamour"This page-turning, heartbreakingly honest debut…deftly depicts the hopeful hearts behind an unsympathetic situation." —Entertainment Weekly "Both hilarious and thoughtfully written, resisting the frequent tendency of first-time novelists to make their characters and situations a little too black-and-white. 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"A thrill to read." —Washington Post"Sharply observed and beautifully etched." —Newark Star-Ledger"Dead-on dialogue, real-life complexity and genuine warmth." —Seattle Post-Intelligencer"Forget ‘Bergdorf Blondes.’ The [book] you want in your bag this year is Emily Giffin’s SOMETHING BORROWED. It’s smarter, less arch and more believable. The characters are authentic. Best of all, SOMETHING BORROWED captures what it’s like to be 30 and single in the city, when your life pretty much revolves around friendships and love and their attendant complexities." —San Francisco Chronicle"Compelling, engrossing -- I absolutely loved this book and read it in two sittings because I could not put it down."
-Marian Keyes, author of Sushi for Beginners
"A luxurious page-turner...that marks the arrival of a tremendously bright, clever new voice."
-Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, author of The Dirty Girls Social Club
"A deftly written and convincing tale of friendship gone comically -- at at times poignantly -- awry."
-Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries
"A winner; it has rare emotional depth."
-Valerie Frankel, author of The Accidental Virgin
