![]() I'm glad I didn't outgrow the genre, though, especially since it's given me books like Casey McQuiston's New York Times bestseller Red, White & Royal Blue. The corporate jobs, Hamptons weekends, and frenemy storylines didn't reflect my day-to-day life, and though I'll always be grateful that Something Borrowed was my entry point to romance novels, I'm also glad I grew out of it. It didn't take long for me to realize, though, that the very white, straight version of New Yorkers depicted in Giffin's pages was neither one with which I'd ever identify, nor was it one I was actually interested in experiencing in real life. For the next seven years, I read the New York City-set novel every summer until I actually moved there myself from Tennessee in the summer of 2015. ![]() ![]() I discovered it in high school after I borrowed it from my older sister and became instantly obsessed. The first romance novel I ever read was Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. ![]()
