SOMETHING BORROWED Movie Filming in the Hamptons

Emily Giffin fans will be interested to know that filming has begun on SOMETHING BORROWED, the movie based on her bestselling book. The movie stars Kate Hudson (Darcy), Ginnifer Goodwin (Rachel), Colin Egglesfield (Dex), and John Krasinski (Ethan). Something Borrowed is about a nice girl who has always followed the rules until she begins a passionate affair with her best friend’s fiancé. Something Borrowed is one of my all time favorite chick lit books, and I am so excited about this movie. The casting is just perfect, in my humble opinion. Kate Hudson doesn’t physically resemble Darcy, but I think she will be ideal as the fun party girl. And John Krasinski as nice guy Ethan? Genius! In the books, Ethan has a larger role in Something Blue, the sequel to Something Borrowed, so I’m curious if they’ve augmented his role in the movie. The cast has been spotted filming [...]

10 Summer Beach Reads

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to hang out at the beach or by the pool and read a good book. I want a book that is light, entertaining, and fun – not too serious or something that requires too much thought. If you enjoy summertime reading, here are a few suggestions: Love the One You’re With by Emily Giffin Newlywed Ellen runs into her bad-boy ex-boyfriend and begins to wonder if she made the right decision by marrying the sweet, if somewhat boring, Andy. As she contemplates rekindling things with her ex, her relationship with her husband suffers. At times Ellen doesn’t seem to appreciate that she has a life some people only dream about, but, overall, she is likable and has problems with her husband and his family that most people can relate to. Love the One You’re With is a light read [...]

SOMETHING BLUE Review

SOMETHING BLUE by Emily Giffin Something Blue by Emily Giffin picks up right where Something Borrowed (read our review here) left off, only this time we hear Darcy’s point of view. We were introduced to selfish, spoiled, beautiful Darcy in Something Borrowed when her fiancé cheated on her with her best friend. She is stunned because she never viewed her so-called “mousy” best friend as a threat. Now we gain more insight into her character and why she is so self-absorbed and shallow. I don’t want to give too much away for those who haven’t read Something Borrowed yet, so I’ll just say that we find out how she handles the betrayal of her best friend and fiancé and what she does next. The sequel is good, but not quite as good as the wonderful Something Borrowed. The problem is that Darcy is just so unlikable, and it’s hard to [...]

SOMETHING BORROWED Review

SOMETHING BORROWED by Emily Giffin Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin starts with the familiar premise of fabulous, single ladies living in New York and looking for love, but it quickly sets itself apart and becomes more about friendship, love, and the choices we make in life. Rachel and Darcy have been best friends since elementary school, but it’s a somewhat one-sided friendship with Rachel playing second fiddle to the more beautiful, outgoing Darcy. The night of her thirtieth birthday party a drunken Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy’s fiancé, Dex. Horrified at what she has done, Rachel tries to stay away from Dex, but they have undeniable feelings for one another. With Dex and Darcy’s wedding approaching, Rachel, who is the maid of honor, is forced to choose between her best friend and a man who she might truly love. Something Borrowed is really interesting because although Rachel and [...]
