Something Borrowed is a New York Times' bestselling adult fiction novel by Emily Giffin. Rachel is turning 30 and life is not turning out how she planned. Although she's a successful lawyer, she hates her job and doesn't even have a boyfriend. Her best friend Darcy, on the other hand, loves her job and is engaged to the perfect man. When Rachel finally does begin to fall in love, it's with the one person who is completely off-limits: Dex, Darcy's fiancee.
Sex: This book revolves around the affair Dex and Rachel have behind Darcy's back. There is definitely sex, and while it's not as graphic as other books, it's still a prominent aspect of the book.
Language: Moderate to high.
Drug/Alcohol Use: The characters drink often. Dex and Rachel's affair begins after a night of drunkeness.
Violence/Gore/Frightening Scenes/Death: None. In this aspect, the book is very lighthearted and laid back.
Final Note: Your typical chick lit. Emily Giffin is definitely a talented author and knows how to spin a good story. I can see why it was a New York Times' Bestseller. The story itself wasn't my cup of tea, but it was a quick and easy read and Rachel was a likeable character, despite her character flaws.
