Chick Lit Classics is a regular feature on Chick Lit Reviews where we highlight the books we feel are classics of the chick lit genre. Feel free to discuss our choices in the comments section!

This week, after reading Martina Reilly’s latest novel A Moment Like Forever (it’s fab and we’ll be reviewing it next week), I’ve picked us one of her earlier novels for our Chick Lit Classic! Something Borrowed is the first of Martina’s books I read and I was completely absorbed by Vicky’s story! It even made me cry, and it’s a book I would happily re-read and one I recommend all Chick Lit lovers read!

Vicky McCarthy’s curiosity has finally got the better of her. Adopted as a baby, she is now determined to trace her birth mother. Her family wish she would leave the past alone, which is just as well: Vicky is in danger of uncovering some shocking secrets. But, hoping that the past will help her determine the future, she sets out to find the truth. And if that doesn’t cause friction enough, there’s trouble at work when a new face appears: Ed O’Neill, whom Vicky is convinced is being groomed for her job. The spark between them is instant - they can’t stand each other. Yet it’s a thin line between love and hate, and Vicky is learning that people aren’t always what they seem.
