That’s when I decided to check out my thirtieth birthday-in a year so far away that it sounded like science fiction.
Darcy had double-pierced ears and a sibling-even if it was just a brother, it was better than being an only child as I was.īut at least I was a few months older and she would never quite catch up. And a pair of fifty-dollar Guess jeans with zippers at the ankles (ditto). Forenza sweaters in turquoise, red, and peach (my mother allowed me none-said they were too trendy and expensive). Her moonwalk was superior, as were her cartwheels and her front handsprings (I couldn’t do a handspring at all). Her skin tanned more quickly, her hair feathered more easily, and she didn’t need braces. So we located our birthdays in the following year, mine in May and hers in September. My best friend Darcy and I came across a perpetual calendar in the back of the phone book, where you could look up any date in the future, and by using this little grid determine what the day of the week would be. I was in the fifth grade the first time I thought about turning thirty. In so doing, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk everything to be true to yourself. But that suddenly changes the night of her thirtieth birthday when Rachel finally confesses her feelings to Darcy's fiance, and is both horrified and thrilled to discover that he feels the same way.Īs the wedding date draws near, events spiral out of control, and Rachel knows she must make a choice between her heart and conscience. Since grade school, she has watched Darcy shine, quietly accepting the sidekick role in their lopsided friendship. A hard-working attorney at a large Manhattan law firm and a diligent maid of honor to her charmed best friend Darcy, Rachel has always played by all the rules. Rachel White is the consummate good girl. The basis for the blockbuster movie starring Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin, and John Krasinski! Something Borrowed is the smash-hit debut novel from Emily Giffin for every woman who has ever had a complicated love-hate friendship.
