“Giffin's compelling debut truly stands out. “Giffin depicts the complex, shifting relationship of Rachel and Darcy, friends since grade school, into the five months between Darcy’s engagement and her wedding date. Giffin avoids what could have been a cliché-ridden tale by skillfully developing Rachel and her best friend Darcy into three-dimensional characters.” -Atlanta Journal-Constitution “Giffin, a former lawyer turned debut novelist, infuses this romance with dead-on dialogue, real-life complexity, and genuine warmth.” -Seattle Post-Intelligencer “Sharply observed and beautifully etched.” –Newark Star-Ledger
“ Something Borrowed captures what it’s like to be thirty and single in the city, when your life pretty much revolves around friendships and love and their attendant complexities.” -San Francisco Chronicle “Delightful, winning, and real.” -Glamour You may never think of friendships-their duties, the oblique dances of power and their give-and-take-quite the same way again.” -The Seattle Times “ Something Borrowed is both hilarious and thoughtfully written, resisting the frequent tendency of first-time novelists to make their characters and situations a little too black-and-white. “This page-turning, heartbreakingly honest debut deftly depicts the hopeful hearts behind an unsympathetic situation.” -Entertainment Weekly (Grade A)
