Publisher Description
Something Borrowed is the smash-hit debut novel from Emily Giffin for every woman who has ever had a complicated love-hate friendship.
Rachel White is the consummate good girl. 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Rachel White is the best friend, the maid of honor...and the other woman. After a lifetime of playing second fiddle to her best friend, Darcy—who has always been slightly prettier and more successful, popular, and fun—the tables turn when Rachel drunkenly confesses her attraction to Darcy’s fiancé, Dex. And it turns out that Dex is into Rachel, too. Emily Giffin’s laugh-out-loud dialogue doesn’t diminish the emotional turmoil that consumes Rachel as she weighs whether her personal happiness is worth the destruction of a lifelong friendship. The wonderful film adaptation of Giffin’s novel stars Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson, and John Krasinski at his most adorable!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jennifer Wiltsie's warm, emotionally expressive voice immediately draws listeners into Giffin's story and makes them sympathize with Rachel, whose growing attraction to her best friend's fianc eventually develops into a guilt-ridden affair. Wiltsie handles the other characters deftly; Rachel's best friend, Darcy, is especially vivid (and hilariously shallow and self-centered), and Rachel and Dex's romance is portrayed with exceptional sensitivity. This is definitely one to bring along in the beach bag this summer. A St. Martin's hardcover.
