Something Borrowed tells the story of Rachel, 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 too many drinks, Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy's fiancé. Although she wakes up determined to put the one-night fling behind her, Rachel is horrified to discover that she has genuine feelings for the one guy she should run from. As the September wedding date nears, Rachel knows she has to make a 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 debut novel that will have you laughing, crying, and calling your best friend.

This book starts off at Rachel's 30th birthday party, where she ends up staying out with her best friend's fiance and then sleeps with him. I tend to really dislike books where the main characters are cheating, but this book was so well written I ended up siding with Rachel and Dex! Amazing! Darcy (Rachel's best friend) seems to be an awful and really selfish person who takes everyone around her for granted, but initially Rachel is horrified with what she has done. Eventually Rachel realizes that she has real feelings for Dex. I spent half the book on edge, wondering when they were going to let Darcy know what had happened, while getting sucked into the drama of hiding the affair and everything else that was happening in the months before the wedding.. I thought it was a really true portrayal of friendships and their basis on trust and mutual respect.. there was a lot of food for thought.

Great Read! I stayed up late reading it and didn't want it to end. Emily Griffin writes wonderful stories that many can relate to.

Picked up this book on the way home from a trip. I couldn't put it down! Finished it quickly and went on to read Something Blue soon after. I only wish Emily had more books out there!!

Good story. Love the main character, got annoyed with the boyfriend, hated the best friend. Just like I was suppose to. Somewhat predictable.

This is an utterly charming read that you can't put down. It is a modern captivating and engrossing love story with alot of complications and twists that keep you riveted until the end. It is also very well written and witty. It has a sequel, Something Blue which is even more charming. A great read!

One of my favorite books ever. Three of my friends have also read it now and also loved it. I enjoyed it more than Something Blue and Babyproof.

I enjoyed this book, and liked the main character. The author did a good job of building tension between the love interests. It was an easy, light read, and perfect for a weekend chill session. At the end I wanted to read the sequel, Something Blue, but I haven't been able to get into it like I did this book.

Fun novel. This book precedes "Something Blue". I couldn't put either book down.

I was a little disappointed with how Rachel's story ended. Other than that I enjoyed this easy read.
