John Krasinski to Star in Something Borrowed?

It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but negotiations are in process for John Krasinski to star alongside Ginnifer Goodwin in Emily Giffin’s “Something Borrowed.” Krasinski would play the role of Ethan, Goodwin’s friend and confident, and is also reported to sign a two movie deal, also set to star in the sequel “Something Blue.” What do you think of the choice?

Ginnifer Goodwin to Star in Something Borrowed

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin has signed on to play Rachel in Emily Giffin’s novel turned film Something Borrowed. Goodwin, who starred in last year’s hit He’s Just Not That Into You, will be playing the “good girl” in the film, who unexpectedly starts an affair with her best friend’s fiancé. Author Emily Giffin seemed pleased about the choice, her Facebook page read, “I am thrilled to announce that GINNIFER GOODWIN will be playing Rachel in SOMETHING BORROWED!!! I think she is a fabulous actress and perfect for the role (so much how I imagined Rachel when writing the book). Hope you all agree!”

Do you agree? And who do you want to fill the roles of other main characters- Darcy and Dex?

Emily Giffin’s Something Borrowed Closer to Production

Emily Giffin’s novel Something Borrowed is getting closer to production! Variety reported that Luke Greenfield has signed on as director of the romance novel that will be coming to a theater near you. Greenfield has produced big name films such as “The Girl Next Door” and “Role Model’s” and will be joined by Wild Ocean Film’s Aaron Lubin and Pamela Schein as producers. Alcon Entertainment will produce the film (which will keep the novel’s title of Something Borrowed) and will bring along big names such as Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Molly Smith, and Hilary Swank. Jennie Urman penned the screenplay.

Love the One You’re With by Emily Giffin

Love the One You’re With is a classic Emily Giffin novel. The heroine is Ellen Dempsey, who has just married the perfect Andy, and is living happily in the bustling New York City. A chance meeting throws Ellen and her old boyfriend, Leo, together in the New York streets. Leo has always secretly been in Ellen’s thoughts, even though he broke her heart years before. This meeting leads to Ellen having serious concerns about the way her life is going- and the man she married.

Matters get more complicated once Andy’s career moves them from New York City that Ellen loves so much down to suburban Atlanta. The marriage begins to crumble as more “chance” meetings happen between Ellen and Leo, and feelings of resentment towards her new life pushes Ellen further from her husband.

As it seems with Giffin’s novels, just when you think you have the plot figured out, it spins in another direction. Love the One You’re With is no different, keeping readers on their toes with compelling drama, heart-stopping moments, and suspense that keeps the story line moving at a fast pace. I found this novel to be fresh and relatable, and really causing me to think about my life and goals, and I love when my readings can have that effect on me.

Baby Proof by Emily Giffin

Claudia Parr counts herself to be incredibly lucky. As a successful editor at a Manhattan publishing house, she is full steam ahead on her career. She meets, falls for, and marries Ben, who has the same career track state of mind. Neither could imagine themselves with children. They are too busy enjoying their hectic careers, traveling to exotic and fun locations on spur of the moment, and spending time together. It couldn’t be more perfect.

Until Ben’s biological clock starts ticking. Now he wants children. Claudia feels betrayed. How could he do this to her? She is thirty-five years old, but has no desire for children. She would have to cut back on her career, slash her travels, and care hand and foot for another human being. Sure, maybe that is a selfish way to think, but it was decision that Claudia and Ben had made together. How dare he change that?

I was surprised at the next event- a divorce. I thought no way would Claudia divorce someone she loved so much. Wouldn’t she just have a baby? No way. Claudia was firm about not changing her mind, as was Ben, and quickly a divorce was under way. Emily Giffin gives readers a thoughtful, heart-warming, irresistible to put down third novel with Baby Proof and the challenges that the heroine faces after leaving the love of her life. Even if you have never been married or thought about having children (like myself) I was immediately drawn into the plot. The writing is personal, the narration is to the point, and the characters are wholly believable.
