Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on March 20, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Emily Giffin! May your day be filled with more laughter and joy than a rom-com movie marathon inspired by your own novels. From "Something Borrowed" to "Heart of the Matter," you've given us countless reasons to smile, cry, and occasionally yell at fictional characters for their questionable life choices.

Your stories have taught us that love is messy yet magical—and sometimes involves borrowing things (or people) without asking first. Here's hoping this year brings you as much success as your unforgettable debut novel's film adaptation did in 2011. Keep writing those irresistible tales; we promise we'll keep reading!
