      Two of Emily Giffin's most beloved novels tell one story of love and betrayal, friendship and forgiveness...Something BorrowedA hard-working attorney at a large Manhattan firm, Rachel White has always played by the rules, quietly accepting the sidekick role to Darcy in their lopsided friendship. But that changes the night that Rachel confesses her feelings to Darcy's fiancé, and is both horrified and thrilled to discover that he feels the same way. As the wedding date draws near, events spiral out of control, and Rachel knows she must make a choice between her heart and conscience. In doing so, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk everything to be true to yourself.Something BlueDarcy Rhone has always been able to rely on a few things: her beauty and charm. Her fiancé Dex. Her best friend Rachel. She never needed anything or anyone else. Or so she thought until she uncovered the ultimate betrayal. Blaming everyone but herself, Darcy flees to London and attempts to re-create her glamorous life on a new continent. But to her dismay, she discovers that her tried-and-true tricks no longer apply--and that her luck has finally expired. It is only then that she can begin her journey towards redemption, forgiveness, and the true meaning of happily ever after.

    • Rachel Miller and Darcy Rhone have been best friends since childhood. They've shared birthdays, the horrors of high school and even boyfriends, but while Darcy is the sort of woman who breezes through life getting what she wants when she wants it, Rachel has always played by the rules and watched her stunning best friend steal all the limelight. The one thing Rachel's always had over Darcy is the four-month age gap which meant she was first to being a teenager, first to drive, first to everything - but now she's about to be first to thirty. And Darcy still has a charmed life. On the eve of her thirtieth birthday, Rachel is shocked to find herself questioning the status quo. How come Darcy gets a glamorous job at a PR firm and the perfect boyfriend, while Rachel grinds away at her despised job as an attorney and remains painfully single. Is it just luck?

Then an accidental fling complicates everything, and it's time for Rachel to make a few hard choices. And she's suddenly forced to learn that sometimes true love comes at a price ...

      Spanning from 1980s London to a present-day reality TV show, this story explores how a woman's tumultuous past influences her family's future. Sarah Percy, once the star of a popular morning show segment, faces declining ratings and struggles to provide household advice, especially when her mother becomes involved. Debbie Windsor, Sarah's mother, is a compulsive hoarder and shopaholic, a secret Sarah has hidden for years. Obsessed with royalty, Debbie's life began to mirror Princess Diana's, leading her to collect royal memorabilia as a coping mechanism. After relocating from England to Pennsylvania, the family's home becomes a chaotic reflection of Debbie's struggles. Despite her family's efforts to help, Debbie dismisses their concerns, putting her safety at risk. When Sarah's brother nominates their mother for a TV episode about hoarding, he insists on Sarah's involvement. Reluctantly, both women agree, but the stakes are high. As family and romantic relationships hang in the balance—including Sarah's connection with the show's attractive host and Debbie's budding romance with a local shopkeeper—long-hidden secrets and resentments must be confronted for the family to heal and move forward.
