Something Borrowed
(Houghton Mifflin Company 1997, Mariner Books, 1999)

Something Borrowed is a wisely witty love story about unresolved relationships and unexpected second chances. Gale and Gary are a divorced couple reunited after fifteen years on the occasion of their son's wedding. Their marriage began 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 spouse. But seeing each other again, Gary and Gale are shocked to find that sexual sparks still fly between them, and temptation beckons against their better judgment. Will they or won't they sleep together? is the inevitable question. But the tougher question has far more serious consequences: Will they or won't they stay together? Against the universal background of the wedding events, complications both comic and heartbreaking arise for everyone connected to them. Sophisticated and woefully funny, Something Borrowed is for romantics with a realistic view of the gray area called love.
