lmaryj says "Annoying Characters!" about Something Borrowed - Emily Giffin

Something Borrowed was an obviously well written novel because I found myself getting so absorbed in it that I openly would curse off the characters! That being said, I didn't find the three main characters likable. Darcy and Dex were just a mess. Darcy was so self absorbed and Dex was a womanizer (even though at the end they tried to make it seem like he wasn't, but what else do you call a man whose sleeping with one woman while living/engaged to another??). I was rooting for Rachel but only when she was trying to get over Dex. I thought she would get her own man!! However, it ended up that she really didn't have any self respect for herself! I have Something Blue but I'm hesitant to read it. Maybe I'll give myself some time to cool off from this one and then try the sequal...

Emily Giffin writes beautifully, a skill that is surprisingly lacking in novels targeted towards women. Even better, she doesn't assume that you don't have a brain. The books is light but nuanced; Giffin's protaganists (there are no others) could have easily fallen to caricatures but she lets them dangle as human beings. Enjoyable....

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin was an absolutely amazing book. I just finished it this morning, and can not wait to go back to Barnes and Noble and buy the next one in the series. The way she writes is astonishingly real..and without a doubt interesting. Totally hooked. This book is definitely for women old and young alike..there was never a dull moment in the book..the characters are scandalous, fun, and totally loveable! Go out and buy it..by far one of the best books I've ever read. Beats Twilight 100 times!

You want to read this book....and if you start it and like it.....buy the second book, Something blue! It is just as good if not better.

cmschmal says "Very entertaining novel, very funny!" about Something Borrowed - Emily Giffin

This book is a story about two friends with totally opposite personalities. One friend is the "pretty" friend who wasn't that great in school and the other is a lawyer. This story is about how their friendship takes several twists and turns. The narration is quite witty and the plot never gets old. With many different layers, this book is a must read for women. I know you will enjoy it!...

sgolab says "Great chick flick made into a book!" about Something Borrowed - Emily Giffin

This is a great book. I read it in about 3 days. It coincides with her other book Somthing Blue. This book tells that story of a woman who ends up sleeping with her best friend's fiance, then getting with him. It is neat because in Something Blue it tells the side of the fiance that was her best friend. Not everyone in this book is so innocent though. It seems that people do change and what you thought was your destiny does not. I recommend this book to everyone.
