The Beginning was slow, but I was pleased with the ending. Great addition to Something Borrowed.
I didn't expect to like this one because it was from Darcy's point of view, but I did. Even if the book was a little too contrived, I still liked it, reading it in just two days.
My friend said this would be even better than "Something Borrowed," and it was! Darcy just about drove me nuts in the beginning, but I like how everything turned out. Lots of fun to read!
Not as good as Something Borrowed, but still enjoyable, especially the second time around.
Very enjoyable. I really wondered how this was going to go with a character you love to hate. The ending was a little bit "happy ever after" but I needed that.
It took me years to read this book since I never really liked Darcy on Something Borrowed. Having finished it I regret not reading it sooner! Something Blue (the meaning behind the title made me tear up once revealed) makes you fall in love with Darcy and has you rooting for her in her road to become a better friend and mother.

Something Blue as im sure you have read is the story of Darcy and how she loses everything due to her flawed character that we all hated so much in something borrowed. This novel is her chance at redemption and at some points in the story the details seem a bit extraneous but overall the book has a solid plot. The characters are well enough developed that you care about what happens to most of them. Wish that we could have heard more about what happened with Dex and Rachel. The ending was very predictable and kind of like blah i knew that was going to happen.
I read this directly after finishing Something Borrowed. Like many other reviewers, I was not a fan of Darcy at all. Knowing that this book focused solely on her was not a selling point for me. Honestly, the first 100+ pages were hard to get through. I kept hearing a voice in my head just telling Darcy to suck it up and quit being so darn selfish. By the end of the book I was cheering for her and even teared up. Talk about a talented writer! Emily Griffin has the ability to take you on a roller coaster of emotions through both books and completely transform your attitude towards Darcy right along with the characters transformation. If you read Something Borrowed, I recommend reading this as well.
