Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My sister asked me to read this book, insisting that it wasn’t what I would expect. Well, my sister was right! I took one look at this book, and wrote it off as boring chick lit. Instead I found myself quickly drawn into the story. This book, which is actually part of a series, tells the tale of two best friends who despite being complete opposites regard each other like sisters. This book is one of the surprise books of the year for me! The characters were written well so I actually could see them corresponding to people in my own life. The plot progressed at a nice clip so it didn’t drag out unnecessarily. Best of all, the story left me wanting more, so I am ready to read the rest of the series, which reflect the other characters point of view. If you are looking for a quick, easy and fun book, I suggest this one for your next vacation pick!
