Something Borrowed (A Novel) by Emily Giffin📑




©Wikipedia.com

In these book, was Emily Giffin's bestselling novel back at 2005 (and the sequel Something Blue)  that centers through the story of two girls about the strength of friendship and romance when suddenly everything falls suddenly into place. 

So okay,  my POV?  This book was a gift from my 18th birthday and since I'd started reading this, I'm a bit curious  about how will the story will going to continue because it tells how a long-time friendship will be destroyed because of "SOMETHING" that happens unexpectedly. So to shorten my review of the book,  let me say that this was a greatly written book that teaches readers that it's not too late to fall in love with someone you are destined to be with. 

My Rate: 5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

P.S. My next feature of the book will focus on the characters, settings and the great past and future relationships of the two main characters: Rachel and Darcy.)

WTFacts! (A Clash of Kings Infos 📝)





      I'm halfway reading through A Clash of Kings and by far I am truly happy and satisfied through the story. It was because I learned so much about it, facts that not just opened my eye but also my mind and heart also. And it was not just the characters that I really loved but....

Everything. (Most of it, for now.👌)

And that's why, I'll think I will not post the characters in the book but the others as well. (I'm not referring to the Others in the book huh? It's quite different.)

So BTW, I'll post any facts about the book. Still alphabetical and still very much interesting. And I'll update as best as I can. (For me, somehow 😄😄.) I hope you also read the book just like me. I'll wish. 🌟🌟🌟
