The novel concerns morals regarding friends and relationships. It addresses the stigma against single women in their thirties and the pressure that society places on them to get married. "This is a realistic situation that women face in today's society", according to one book review.[1] The title comes from a "Something old, something new", a traditional nursery rhyme concerning a bride's attire. Something Borrowed became an international bestseller and was placed on The New York Times Best Seller List, among others. It was developed into a film by Hilary Swank's shared production company. Plot summaryThe novel centers around the protagonist and narrator, Rachel White, a thirty-year-old single woman who is a consummate good-girl. She and Darcy Rhone have been best friends since childhood, and hard-working Rachel is often in the shadow of flashy, sometimes selfish Darcy. Then, after a night of drinking on Rachel's thirtieth birthday, she sleeps with Darcy's fiancé, Dex.[2] After this turns into an affair, Rachel explores the meaning of friendship, true love,[2] and ethics.[3] Awards and honorsThe novel, along with two others by Giffin, was an international bestseller, and it got many honors, including being on both The New York Times Best Seller List and USA Todays Top 150 list.
