Something Borrowed is a 2005 novel by author Emily Giffin. 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.
