Despite its pink cover and fluffy classification, Emily Giffin's bestseller "Something Borrowed" asked a lot of its readers — mainly to empathize with a heroine whose driving action of sleeping with, and later falling in love with, the fiance of her childhood best friend was, on its face, reprehensible. And Giffin was successful in probing the depths of a complex friendship with a history, the guilt of a cheating fiance and the strange liberation of a woman who'd always tried to do the right thing, often at the expense of her own happiness.
