This week’s author of the week is Emily Giffin! We’ve reviewed three of her books here on chicklitreviews - Baby Proof, Love The One You’re With and Something Borrowed. Something Borrowed is one of my favourite chick lit books ever. The only book we haven’t reviewed is Something Blue - the sequel to Something Borrowed which is also a great read.

Emily was born in 1972, she wrote her first book aged 6 The Funny Panda’s & The Messy Room. She loved Michael Jackson and even learnt the moonwalk. She had her first kiss in 1984, aged 12! In 1986 she moved to Illinois. In 1997 she moved to New York and passed the bar. Five days after 9/11 she moved to London and started writing Something Borrowed (working title was Rolling The Dice). In 2002 she signed a two-book deal with St Martins Press. Three more novels follow with film rights to Something Borrowed being sold to Hilary Swank’s company. Emily is working on her fifth novel.

As I said, I loved Something Borrowed, Something Blue and Baby Proof. I even liked Love The One You’re With, I just didn’t like Ellen much! I can’t wait for the film version of Something Borrowed especially if Hilary Swank stars, I love her.

Emily’s fifth novel, The Heart of the Matter, is scheduled to be released next year and sounds fab. You can read a sneak-peek of it over at Emily’s website.
