Something Borrowed

Something Borrowed

When I read the back of this book I wasn't certain what to think.  It sounded interesting, but I also wondered how I would like the heroine.

Rachel White is an attorney in Manhattan and has always been a good girl who never strayed off the right path.  On the night of her thirtieth birthday her best friend Darcy throws her a birthday bash.  She ends the night by sleeping with Darcy's fiance, Dex.
Try as they might Rachel is completely drawn to Dex.

I was expecting to dislike Rachel because anyone who would sleep with her best friend's fiance can't be a likable character.  I was wrong.  I enjoyed reading about her struggle and the conflict she feels.  Rachel is a very relatable character and you find yourself siding with her, even though she is very in the wrong and she knows it.

I was even pleased with how the book ended.  Everything wrapped up nicely and ended well.  The book was well paced, keeping you interested and wanting to read more.  I recommend picking this book up if you are looking for a fun read.  I'm looking forward to reading more books by Emily Giffin.
