I love this book!!! It's such a fun, uplifting, easy read. I couldn't put it down and read it in just a couple days!!

I read this book a few years ago, and have read the rest of the collection as well. I loved it! I think it was a cute, and girly concept. The characters, and the plot was interesting! I loved the movie too, pretty hilarious.

I didn't think I was going to like this book very much, because I tend not to like the chick-lit category. I thought the characters were relatable and very realistic. I could picture people I know having similar personalities. It took me awhile to like Rachel, but by the end I was rooting for her happy ending. This book made me open to reading more chick-lit books, which I have really started to enjoy reading during those laid-back summer days.

I'm not a really big fan of Emily Giffin, I find most of her work tends to be about the same thing. That said, I really enjoyed this book. It was a good read, despite the content. I honestly liked Rachel and could feel how jumbled her feeling and life were becoming. Someone was going to get hurt, and I just kept hoping Rachel would get what she wanted.

Great book! Definitely a classic!

A really enjoyable book to read if you are on vacation or heading to the beach. I couldn't put it down and read it in 3 days!

This book was so fun to read! I read this about 8 years ago and I'm so happy they have the movie out now. It's a fun read if you're into romance and drama.

This book is SO much fun to read if you're looking for fluffy chick lit. You love to hate both Darcy and Rachel and their various decisions and behaviours. By the end though, you feel sad to say goodbye to them. The follow up to this (Something Blue), is also pretty good, but I found it wasn't quite as funny as this one...

I bought this book after reading the reviews on this site. Its definately a great chick lit. I totally agree with Merri that I can't stand behind someone who cheats on her bff, and actually the entire book i was expecting the guy to pull a typical bad guy move and end up cheating both girls while maintaining his own "good guy" image. I'm still not convinced he is actually a good guy. I can't fault the main girl (Rachael i think) too much because yes she's cheating on her bff, but her bff is also cheating on her fiancee.. not that it cancels eachother out, but still.

The fact that the guy pissed me off, Rachael's subsurvient nature pissed me off, and most of the characters in general left me feeling disquiet .... these to me are still the markings of a good book. Because it makes you think, you're not reading it waiting for it to be over (because i just can't start a book and not finish it!). You're sitting there fuming, but reading, unable to put it down because you just HAVE to KNOW.

I would highly recommend this to anyone into chick lit or even into books that make you think.

From my blog:
I've been horribly slow in reviewing Emily Griffin's book Something Borrowed. It was my first book by her, but aparently she's a big chick lit author, because whenever i'm reading something by her, women stop by and comment on it. Apparently, everyone's a fan. This makes me think that maybe i should read it somewhere public where there are hot women around... a great conversation starter lol.
The book itself went very fast, but my main complaint was that i really didnt like the main character. here is a woman who is sleeping with her BEST FRIEND'S FIANCE!! Throughout the book, she's making excuses, such as Darcy (her bff) has always had things easy, always thinks of herself and gets her way.. She's always trying to justify why Darcy is a bad friend, but she's not. No one's perfect. It's the main girl Rachel who is the bad friend. She whines, whines whines, and cheats her very own best friend. I can't get behind a girl like that at all. It kind of ruined the book for me, because the whole thing was just so distasteful.
I guess there is a sequel to the book, told from Darcy, the poor cheated on friend's, point of view. I really want to read that. I'm sure this girl has many bad points to her, but she is loyal, and i need something in the character that i can respect. What do you think, is there anything that can justify lying and stealing and breaking the trust from your best friend?
