Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada

Emily Giffin practised litigation at a top Manhattan firm for years when, at thirty, she decided to move to London to concentrate on her childhood dream of becoming a writer. Now a mother of two, she lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Thirty years old, successful and stunning, Darcy Rhone used to think that 'being down and out' meant not finding a size four at the Barney's Warehouse Sale. Now she is pregnant, unmarried and recovering from a broken engagement to Dex and the betrayal of her ex-best friend Rachel, who stole Dex's affections. 
 
For the first time in her life, she is completely alone. 
 
Frantically casting around for help, she calls upon Ethan, an old high school friend, and convinces him to let her stay with him in London for a few weeks to get her act together. Little does she know what she's in for when she boards the plane to cross the Atlantic, but as weeks turn into months, Darcy makes a surprising discovery. Preparing for motherhood and settling into a new career, she builds herself a new life from scratch, finally finding romance - in the most unexpected place ...

Something Borrowed

A New York Times bestseller, and the book behind the hit rom-com film starring Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin, this is a chick-lit novel with a difference. Love, friendship, careers and the social stigma attached to thirty-something single women make Something Borrowed a unique must-buy for fans of Sex and the City.

I absolutely loved it...I could not put it down

A deftly written and convincing tale of friendship gone comically -- and at times poignantly -- awry.

Here's a heroine you'll root for and a book you won't want to put down. I loved it!

Rachel Miller and Darcy Rhone have been best friends since childhood. They've shared birthdays, the horrors of high school and even boyfriends, but while Darcy is the sort of woman who breezes through life getting what she wants when she wants it, Rachel has always played by the rules and watched her stunning best friend steal all the limelight. The one thing Rachel's always had over Darcy is the four-month age gap which meant she was first to being a teenager, first to drive, first to everything - but now she's about to be first to thirty. And Darcy still has a charmed life. On the eve of her thirtieth birthday, Rachel is shocked to find herself questioning the status quo. How come Darcy gets a glamorous job at a PR firm and the perfect boyfriend, while Rachel grinds away at her despised job as an attorney and remains painfully single. Is it just luck? Or, looking back at their friendship and their lives together, is it a bit more complicated than that? Then an accidental fling complicates everything, and it's time for Rachel to make a few hard choices. And she's suddenly forced to learn that sometimes true love comes at a price ...
