This was an easy read and I enjoyed that. The main character Darcy reminded me of the shopaholic series.

When I started this, I wasn't so sure. I really did not like Darcy in the first book, so I wasn't excited about reading from her point of view. And I still wasn't too thrilled about it at the half way point, but I was definitely intrigued by the story. And I love Ethan. And I was enjoying the London side of things. But by the last 100 pages or so, I had definitely come around to caring more about Darcy, and even wanting her and Ethan to be together. I cried a good bit near the end.

I don't feel like Darcy and Rachel's relationship was restored the way it could have been. And even though I like Darcy now, I still missed Rachel and wanted to hear more of her story. Maybe Emily Griffin will write another book from Rachel's point of view? But overall, I really liked it. I like Emily Griffin. She's my new Literary guilty pleasure :) I'm taking a break from her though, and holding off on Baby Proof for a little while, since it's a new story line.

I hated this book. The main character was a spoiled, bratty, whiny little girl. The whole book I was expecting *something* to change, but it didn't. It was like watching a train wreck, and i couldn't walk away even though it was awful. I don't know how it got 4 stars.

This book made me GASP! Honestly, Darcy is so unlikeable and I’m impressed how much it turned around by the end. Solid job!

Tómenlo más como un 2.5.

La verdad, me gusto este libro M U C H O más que Something Borrowed. Claro, lo odie durante toda la primera mitad del mismo, pero ya a la segunda mitad del mismo, no pude evitar que me gustara.

Creo que principalmente fue por Ethan, pues lo ame desde "Something Borrowed" (lo cual es mucho decir, porque ese libro no esta entre mis favoritos) y desde que apareció en "Something Blue", caí presa de su encanto. Luego, a la segunda mitad del libro empece a querer poco más a Darcy y bueno, Ethan seguía siendo mi favorito.

La trama fue muy obvia en ciertos puntos y ya un poco más adelante, el final fue predecible. Me gusto el toque que le dieron ala situación con Rachel, aunque no me gusta ese personaje para nada.

En fin, mi opinión discrepa de la opinión popular, pero ¿qué se puede hacer?

While I was surprisingly pleased with the first book in this series, I can't really say the same of this one. When I spend the first 150+ pages of a book despising the main character, it's hard for me to be happy for her in the end.

I really enjoyed this book. When I started it, I hated Darcy and thought she deserved everything that was happening to her. Because I hated her so much I wasn't sure I'd be able to care what happened to her, but I found myself feeling sorry for her when she was at her lowest points and wound up rooting for her later on. I absolutely loved Ethan and his honesty about her. I was so happy to see the changes she made by the end.

I didn't believe Lindsay when she told me I'd grow to like Darcy, but, somewhere around page 300, I did.

The second book to Something Borrowed....this was my fav of the two! I fell in love with Darcy in this book!
