Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin Reviews
#37 in Books

Description

A hard-working attorney at a large Manhattan law firm and a diligent maid of honor to her charmed best friend Darcy, Rachel has always played by all the rules. Since grade school, she has watched Darcy shine, quietly accepting the sidekick role in their lopsided friendship. But that suddenly changes the night of her thirtieth birthday when Rachel finally confesses her feelings to Darcy's fiance, and is both horrified and thrilled to discover that he feels the same way. As the wedding date draws near, events spiral out of control, and Rachel knows she 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 be true to yourself.

    Really dislike this book. I could guess what was coming next and the character were very undeveloped.

    Absolutely loved this book as well as "Something Blue". The movie does not do justice at all, read the books, their funny, captivating and intriguing!

    I read the book after watching the movie (which I loved BTW), and I loved it as well :) It was really hard to root for Darcy (even though she was the one who was cheated on) mainly because she was very self-centered. I'm not an advocate for adultery, but in this case, Rachel belonged with Dex.

    This will be a book that I will read over and over again :)

    Nice light read, that is entertaining and heartfelt. The movie based on the book left something to be desired, so stick with the books

    I really liked this book - it was light and easy to get through
    The story might not have always gone the way you thought it would - and there were some surprises.
    I have read the series that follows the characters and they are a good read.

    I really enjoyed this book by Emily Giffin as well as enjoying the sequel. I wasn't too fond of the movie as it really differs from the book. This is certainly a page turner that you won't want to put down.

    I loved this book! It's probably ma favourite Emily Giffin book so far. Don't watch the movie, you'll be disappointed as it is so different from the book.

    The character are easy to fall in love with and you find yourself cheering for Rachel. Loved, loved it
