Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin (2005, Paperback, Reprint)

I recently read Something Borrowed on the advice of my sister. As an avid 'chick lit' reader, I have to say I absolutely LOVED this book as well as it's follow up (which I also reviewed) Something Blue! This book keeps you reading until the very end. It is easy to relate to Rachel and Darcy if you have ever had a best friend. They make you laugh and cry alike throught the course of the book. This book also has a few unexpected twists that will leave you wondering 'why didn't I see that coming?' Overall a great read! Definitely pick this up in conjunction with Something Blue for a night of great reading.
I really love Emily's style of writing. She has this quality of making each page entertaining, unlike so many authors today. Her characters and situations are real and are easy to relate to. Emily creates so many emotions throughout her novels, including making you feel guilty for ever doing anything bad to your best friend. You will be picking up the phone and calling her/him by the end of the book! Don't start this book unless you have time to finish it because you won't want to put it down!

I purchased "Something Borrowed" on a whim and enjoyed every page of it. Anyone who has ever had a childhood best friend (or even if you haven't), you will find this book quite the page turner. It's good for adults of all ages. When I was finished, I passed it on to my daughter in-law who then passed it on to her younger sister and everyone enjoyed has it! It's about friendship, love, life, disappointments etc., all from the perspective of the "maid of honor." After you have finished and wished there was more.....there is. Now, you have to purchase "Something Blue."!! I can't wait to see what you think of these two wonderfully entertaining books!
