Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin

In its basics it is the story of a best friend falling in love with her best friend's fiance. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure in any country, no matter the language spoken, we would all come to the same conclusion. . . THAT AIN'T RIGHT!!

But hold the phone on the quick judgemental reflex for juuuuust a second. . .

I've had this book in my possession for over a month and every time, due to my personal judgements of this book, I looked at it, I'd quickly put it back on my shelf to deferr for another. Bascially, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to connect with the main character and narrator aka the mistress/best friend when this book deals with such a frowned upon act of betryal.

BUT! Oooooh but.

After you begin reading this book it's as if you begin to question what once was solid moral standings. It's not that I can now say that I find it acceptable to "borrow" ones best friend's fiance (certainly not!), but perhaps you have to think about what your fighting or standing for. Is it loyalty of a friend? Is it the sanctity of friendship? Or should it be, perhaps, of a love that you know in your heart could never be mastered again?

I guess the saying is true: love makes you do crazy things!
