I read this book in one day! I seem to enjoy taking Emily Giffin's books to the beach! They are fun and entertaining though a little predictable.

Sequel to Something Borrowed.

I have read something borrowed and watched the movie, I had actually liked the movie or the book. But I've always wondered what happened after. Thankfully I found a copy of something blue and got to read it and find out. I liked this book and the story it told. You got to see things from Darcys perspective and it was interesting.

A guilty pleasure read of mine!

This book was different than what I expected, but in a good way. You keep just wanting to know more and more.

I love this book. I came into it hating Darcy - her shallowness, conceit and selfishness really bothered me. But I love watching her grow and start caring about more than her looks and her status. And the character growth makes the happy ending that much more fulfilling. This is a book that I own and reread.

After reading Something Borrowed I was not sure that I would like a book about Darcy. I was not a fan of hers at all. But...she comes around and she's all right. A good little chit lit quick read...I enjoyed it.

The beginning of the book was very slow for me as it was very repetitive of the first one, since it goes over the events of Something Borrowed but from Darcy’s pov. I do feel that this was in part to justify Rachel and Dex’s actions in the first book as it portrays Darcy in pretty bad lighting. Other than that, I enjoyed Darcy’s journey in this story but I do have qualms with how forced some elements of the plot felt to me

Again, just a fun vacation read. I liked the characters, the story. It was just an entertaining, thoughtless book.
