Something Borrowed

Is a book. More importantly it is a chick lit book. The plotline, by the way, revolves around a Manhattan attorney, Rachel, whose best friend, Darcy, has it all: money, good looks and a hunky fiancé called Rex. (really...fiancé not spaniel)
But when Rachel embarks on an affair with Dex, their friendship is put to the test. And then some.

Oh my! Saucy!

Then the news that Hillary Swank has bought the rights with the option to star comes out and there is a moan from movie audiences everywhere.


I take it she is playing Rachel, and that seems like a very unsympathetic character, so well done for stretching. Still though, Hillary Swank and chick lit??? just seems so wrong, like Renee Zellweger playing a black farm hand in a literary civil war drama.

The casting of Darcy will be a breeze as she is the one who is done wrong. They could cast Maleficent and she would still hold my sympathies.
