Review:
In Alexandra Marshall's fourth novel, love is certainly in the air, liable to strike most anyone. Something Borrowed focuses on the forced reunion of Gale and Gary, necessitated by the wedding of their son. Divorced for more than 15 years, the couple's marriage began as a blaze of passion and ended disastrously, so for Gary and Gale, seeing one another again after so many years could be a recipe for more fireworks. Add to the fray the current spouses of each, especially Gary's trashy young wife, and sparks are bound to fly at the Boston hotel in which the group is ensconced. But instead of anger, Gary and Gale find themselves pulled together by passion and temptation. Something Borrowed is a sophisticated examination of modern-day desire, betrayal, and infidelity.
From the Back Cover:
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?
