#33 Something Borrowed

I know I haven't written in a while, but life has been a little crazy. I will write about that in another blog. I have just finished reading the most incrediable book, Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. I read it in literally 3 days; would have been faster, but I had to work. I have been dying to read this one for a long time and it has been sitting on my bookshelf. I heard that it was being made into a movie but still never read it. Last week I realized the that the film will be out in the first week of May, so I kind of was in a panic. I couldn't put it down. The book is also greatly praised.

Here is what is written on the back of the book:

Meet Rachel White, a young attorney living and working in Manhattan. Rachel has always been the consummate good girl--until her thirtieth birthday, when her best friend Darcy throws her a party. That night, after many drinks, Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy's finace'. Although she wakes up determined to pu the one-night fling behind her, Rachel is horrified to discover that she has genuine feelings for the one guy she should run from. In her wildest dreams (or worst nightmare?) this the last thing on earth Rachel could ever have imagined happening. As the September weddding date nears, Rachel knows she has to make her choice. In doing so, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk all to win true happiness. Something Borrowed is a phenomenal deput novel that will have you laaughing, crying, and calling your best friend.

Emily Giffin is amazing author. She got right into the juicy stuff; she also as the ability to keep the reader into the book with all the twist and turns. Here is a little bit about her.

She graduated from Wake Forest University and ahte University of Virginia School of Law. She practiced law in New York City for several years before movine to London wher she began writing full time. She now lives in Atlanta with her husband and two sons.

Many people of written loads about the book, but one stands out and it is exactly what I feel.

You don't have to lust after your best friend's boyfriend to worship this book (trust me on this)... Here's a heroine you'll root for and a book you won't want to put down. I loved it.
