Something Borrowed

Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin is a story about two friends who grew up in the Midwest and ended up moving to New York in different ways.  The book starts out at Rachel's 30th birthday party.  Instead of being married with kids in a successful career she enjoys, she is single and a lawyer for a corporate firm she hates.  Darcy, her very self-fish and blunt friend has thrown her this big not-so-surprised birthday party.  Darcy has always gotten what she wants, jobs, friends, and especially men.  She is engaged to Dex who Rachel went to law school with. 

The story continues in the point of view of Rachel.  Through a very events, Rachel accidentally sleeps with Dex the night of the party.  Dex doesn't believe it was necessarily an "accident."  The two start seeing each other more often.  Even though, you don't want to see a relationship of seven year and an engagement break up, you start rooting for Rachel.  You will never believe what happens in the end of this book!  This is a must read if you believe in true love even when it's a hard decision to make.

**Note** This book has been turned into a movie.  The movie does not follow the book well and is quite disappointing to watch after reading this book.  Don't go rushing out to see this movie, as I did, after reading the book.  It will really let you down.
