By Emily Giffin....from the back cover...Meet Rachel White, a young attorney living and working in Manhattan. Rachel has always been the consummate good girl - until her thirtieth birthday party, when her best friend Darcy throws her a party. That night, after too many drinks, Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy's fiance. 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 away from. In her wildest dreams (or worst nightmare?) this is the last thing on earth Rachel could have ever imagined happening. 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 it all to win true happiness. Something Borrowed is a phenomenal debut novel that will have you laughing, crying, and calling your best friend.
So...I wasn't sure what to think going into it...at first I am thinking, you should NEVER EVER be okay with a best friend sleeping with your fiance...but as the plot unfolds....it just isn't as cut and dry as that. And...I have been recommended this book by several friends...so I thought I would give it a shot! It definitely takes some twists and turns...and while I often disagreed with some of the decisions made...all in all I was surprised at how much I ended up enjoying the novel...and I didn't want to put it down.

i liked this book a lot. it was interesting like you said how you thought you would hate the best friend but the characters are written in a way that you really don't. i think this is her best book, but there is also a sequal Something Blue which you need to read now to finish up the story!
