It was amazing to me how Emily handled this complex moral issue with such compassion and clear-sightedness. I believed it all the way and forgot about the rest of my life while I was immersed in it. Her three main characters are portrayed as multifaceted and endearingly flawed---just like real human beings. Something Borrowed is also very well written---nice, spare prose, which kept me pressing forward, agog to know what happened. This is a book which takes a clear-eyed look at the rivalry that exists in even the best of friendships. Congratulations to Emily on having written such a compelling, engrossing, and uplifting book. \u003cbr\u003e- Marian Keyes, author of \u003ci\u003eSushi for Beginners\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEveryone is raving about Emily Giffin and \u003ci\u003eSomething Borrowed\u003c\/i\u003e! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Emily Giffin brings a fresh, new voice to women's fiction. \u003ci\u003eSomething Borrowed\u003c\/i\u003e is a deftly written and convincing tale of a friendship gone comically---and at times poignantly---awry.\" \u003cbr\u003e- Meg Cabot, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Boy Next Door\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Princess Diaries\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eSomething Borrowed\u003c\/i\u003e is a winner; it has rare emotional depth.
