Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

I chose this book to fall under the theme for week 48, a book related to one of the Seven Deadly Sins. This book encompasses at least a couple of them, greed and lust being the main two that come to mind.

Something Borrowed implies exactly what you might think ... two best friends forever face the destruction of their friendship when the maid of honor sleeps with her best friend's fiance. What starts out as a one-time event slowly burgeons into a full-on affair, and the fallout is everything one would expect.

What was the most disturbing part of this to me was the author's choice to virtually absolve the protagonist (really more of an antagonist?) of her indiscretions by making the bride-to-be just as obnoxious and awful as you can possibly imagine.

I don't know that I'm particularly proud to say this was one of my choices, but it fit the theme nicely. For a summer/chick-lit book, it's not bad. I've actually read it three times, each time having a different experience with the book. I don't mind re-reads as they often offer a new perspective on the book and the story in general.

I read thing for the week 25. This book was annoying. All of the characters are annoying and none of them are likable. It was a hard book to get through.
