Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of Something Borrowed comes a novel that shows how someone with a ‘perfect life' can lose it all—and then find everything.

Darcy Rhone thought she had it all figured out: the more beautiful the girl, the more charmed her life. Never mind substance. Never mind playing by the rules. Never mind karma.

But Darcy's neat, perfect world turns upside down when her best friend, Rachel, the plain-Jane "good girl," steals her fiancé, while Darcy finds herself completely alone for the first time in her life…with a baby on the way.

Darcy tries to recover, fleeing to her childhood friend living in London and resorting to her tried-and-true methods for getting what she wants. But as she attempts to recreate her glamorous life on a new continent, Darcy finds that her rules no longer apply. It is only then that Darcy can begin her journey toward self-awareness, forgiveness, and motherhood.

Emily Giffin's Something Blue is a novel about one woman's surprising discoveries about the true meaning of friendship, love, and happily-ever-after. It's a novel for anyone who has ever, even secretly, wondered if the last thing you want is really the one thing you need.

    I really enjoyed the transformation of Darcy and how true friendship changed her.
  • The main character is the worst

    The beginning of this book was painful. I have never hated a main character so much. The character developed and the book had a nice, but predictable ending. But it was hard to get through.
  • Very enjoyable

    I didn’t enjoy the beginning so much as Darcy was a real pain and so shallow. Once things started going badly for her, I began to enjoy the book more and her trials and tribulations and how she became a better and a happier person. I would recommend this book
  • Awesome

    After reading something borrowed, l had to read something blue. Darcy is a trip.. and l mean a trip. Loved reading about her finally growing up. Griffin did an excellent job with Darcy. I was happy with the way her and Ethan feel in Love. Read the book in one day.

    If you enjoy more intelligent fiction and a dialogue from multiple perspectives, go read Something Borrowed and Something Blue immediately! Emily is my favorite fiction author, and I always anxiously countdown the days until her books debut.

    It's like once you get hooked up with the first book, you're very likely to buy the second one and don't know what to expect. Sometimes I hope all of us human would be the same, read both books, don't judge too early, each and every living existence on this earth has their own role to play and to follow.

    I loved Something Borrowed so I downloaded Something Blue and liked it just as much if not more. Emily Griffin has a great skill in being able to bring out your emotions. Dislike, pity, joy, warmth. By the end of the book, i had cried twice.
