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 fiance. 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.
Good-girl New York attorney Rachel has her world turned upside down when, at the end of a drunken 30th birthday bash, she sleeps with her college friend Dex--who is also her best-friend's fianc?. She's shocked at what she's done, and even more shocked when her feelings for Dex continue to grow. Emily Giffin's debut novel became a bestselling splash on its release in 2005, and marked Giffin as one of the standout stars in the overcrowded chick-lit genre. What sets SOMETHING BORROWED above the rest is Giffin's pitch-perfect blend of high melodrama with wonderfully three-dimensional characters, and complicated, morally-tricky solutions to crises of the heart.
