I love how honest she is about women and their relationships, and the stories are always relatable. After this the only book of hers I have yet to read is Something Blue, and I'm sort of putting it off because then I'll have to wait until she writes another one for more. Also I'm curious if I'll like it as much as the others. I really didn't like the character of Darcy in Something Borrowed, (no criticism of the writing there, I don't think we were meant to like her much) and the next book is told from her point of view. Friends of mine who've already read it assure me that I'll feel differently after I get Darcy's side of the story.  Lindsayg | Feb 7, 2010 |  I loved this book! Very quick read, couldn't put it down. Very much a chick lit novel which is nice to mix in with heavier book sometimes. I would reccomend this to any girl/woman who wants a lighter very well written book that you won't be able to put down! (  ) afyfe | Jan 13, 2010 | Very fast read..liked it alot! I am trying to think of who's style she reminds me of..can't put my finger on it, but did enjoy it & would read one of her books again! ( ) Ames3473 | Nov 28, 2009 | Something Borrowed reminded me of an extended version of a Harlequin Romance. I kept thinking that the author could have wrapped up everything alot sooner than she did As a child of the eighties, I enjoyed the pop references of that time period. All I can say eighties ruled. Giffin makes Rachel into a sympathtic character. So you are not upset when she starts having an affair with her best friend's fiance. I actually was rooting for Rachel and Dex to get together. It seems that alot of Giffin's life experiences make it into the book, like living in New York, working as a lawyer and even her England experience. Which make alot of the book ring true. This was a nice lite chick lit. (  ) readingmama | Nov 28, 2009 | 2005 katiemertz | Nov 20, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Rachel White is the consummate good girl. A hard-working attorney in Manhattan and diligent maid-of-honor to her best friend Darcy, Rachel has always done the right thing. But all of that changes the night of her thirtieth birthday when, after a few too many drinks, she 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 realize that she has genuine feelings for the only guy she shouldn’t. As the wedding date nears, Rachel 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 win true happiness. Something Borrowed is a phenomenal debut novel that will have you laughing, crying, and calling your best friend.
