Let’s talk about comfort
Rachel has been in the shadow of her vivacious friend Darcy since childhood. Always more popular, better-dressed, and in the middle of anything that’s going on, Darcy is one of life’s golden people, with Rachel happy to tag along behind and enjoy the reflected gleam. But now, as the women turn 30 , Rachel is beginning to get a little tired of coming second to Darcy all the time. Although Rachel has worked incredibly hard to qualify as a lawyer, she is is working huge amounts of hours in a job that will never love her back. She is single and hasn’t been on a date in months. Meanwhile PR-lovey Darcy is flitting from party to party, and has just got engaged to Dex - a handsome, successful lawyer. That’s the Dex that was Rachel’s friend first, at law school.
“It’s all changed now. For better or worse”
And so our stage is set. At Rachel’s 30th birthday party, she and Dex end up going home together. As a reader, it feels like a blow - we thought we were meant to be rooting for Rachel? The homely underdog, the good girl? Surely she wouldn’t act like this? And Darcy is meant to be selfish and attention-seeking - we’re not meant to be feeling sorry for her, th

Something Borrowed Quotes
“I was in the fifth grade the first time I thought about turning thirty. My best friend Darcy and I came across a perpetual calendar in the back of the phone book, where you could look up any date in the future, and by using this little grid, determine what the day of the week would be. So we located our birthdays in the following year, mine in May and hers in September. I got Wednesday, a school night. She got a Friday. A small victory, but typical. Darcy was always the lucky one. Her skin tanned more quickly, her hair feathered more easily, and she didn't need braces. Her moonwalk was superior, as were her cart-wheels and her front handsprings (I couldn't handspring at all). She had a better sticker collection. More Michael Jackson pins. Forenze sweaters in turquoise, red, and peach (my mother allowed me none- said they were too trendy and expensive).
