Author Emily Giffin began writing full-time from the year 2001, after moving to London. Her first novel was a young adult one and was titled ‘Lily Holding True.’ Since it was her first time eight publishers rejected her novel. Even after all these rejections, she was determined and never left hope and began writing a new novel. This novel was then titled Rolling the Dice, but was later changed to Something Borrowed before its publishing. Something Borrowed became the bestselling novel of its time. In the year 2002, Emily finally found an agent and soon the publishers at the St. Martin’s Press made a contract with her for two books.
