Several weeks ago I was bored on a Friday morning during Sadie's nap. I was just in one of those extremely lazy moods when just the thought of doing something productive seems overwhelming. I had just checked out this book, Something Borrowed by Catherine Hapka, from the library, per my sister's recommendation. I should note that this is not the same "Something Borrowed" as the recent movie that came out with Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin.The story revolves around a girl (I can't actually remember her name...like I said, it's been a few weeks since I read this) who breaks up with her boyfriend just a couple weeks before her sister's wedding. Horrified at the thought of going to the wedding without a date, she is determined to find someone to accompany her. She scores multiple dates, but one by one something happens that prevents them from being her wedding date. She eventually asks her best friend Teresa if she can borrow her boyfriend for the event. (Teresa was spending the summer in Europe on an internship.) She goes to the wedding with her friend's boyfriend and *surprise* finds herself falling for him.
I can't say this was a great book, but I really did enjoy it. It was very silly, very easy, and a very quick read---just what I wanted on a lazy Friday! I was able to finish it during Sadie's 3 naps that day. I would definitely recommend this one if you need something not too serious, maybe a break from other serious literature. Overall silly and fun and an indulgent read!
3 out of 5 stars
