Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Rachel and Darcy have been best friends since elementary school and Darcy has planned a night out in celebration of Rachel's thirtieth birthday. Rachel has not achieved what she had hoped to achieve by the time she was thirty - no handsome loving husband, no children, no fabulous career. She is an attorney with a major New York City law firm, but she is miserable. Darcy is engaged to an incredible guy that Rachel introduced her to, has an exciting job in PR, and the kind of personality that makes her the center of attention everywhere she goes. Darcy has a little too much to drink at Rachel's party and goes home, leaving her fiance, Dex, to finish out the night with Rachel and take her home. After many more drinks, Rachel and Dex end up sleeping together. Will Rachel and Darcy's friendship survive this betrayal? Will Darcy and Dex's engagement end in heartache or marriage? Read this to find out.

Although I enjoyed this story, I don't plan to read the others in this series - it was a bit too much "Sex in the City" for me and I didn't find myself caring too much about the characters.
