I’m just going to come out and say it: This book is anti-gay. And Emily Giffin’s Something Borrowed is no exception.
but, sometimes, I really hate the fact that I read (I mean buy) these books. Why do I like these New York Times bestsellers? These newspaper-print $7.99 books blurbed by Entertainment Weekly and Glamour? Because they’re fun and light and easy. (Meanwhile, of course, their careers are on the right track, even if those careers are making them miserable.) Now, let me clarify: I really only like the ones about neurotic career gals living in New York City, usually in their late twenties or early thirties, who keep fucking up and self-sabotaging their love lives. I even sometimes fantasize about wanting to write them. Here is my deep, shameful secret: I’m addicted to drugstore paperbacks.
