Something Borrowed

"A love story about grown-ups, written by somebody with a grown-up mind." The New York Times's praise of Alexandra Marshall's first novel, Gus in Bronze, is equally, delightfully true of Something Borrowed. Here is the perfect romantic comedy for the age of divorce, a wise and wry story of unresolved relationships and unexpected second chances. Gale and Gary are a divorced couple reunited after fifteen years on the weekend of their son's wedding. Their marriage had begun with a passionate connection and, through one betrayal, ended in an explosive collapse. At middle age, each has settled into a new life with a caring new spouse. But meeting again, Gale and Gary are astonished to find that the sexual sparks still fly between them, and temptation beckons against their better judgment. One question is inevitable: Will they or won't they sleep together? Far more complicated is the question that has repercussions for everyone connected to them--their spouses, their children, their friends: Will they or won't they stay together? Something Borrowed is a novel about passion and its consequences. Sophisticated and tender, hilarious and heartbreaking, it is for romantics with a realistic view of that gray area called love.
