This is the story of a Mean Girl who has reached her thirtieth birthday and has yet to stray from her mean girl path. Emily Giffin tells the story in first person of Darcy who has viewed all of her life from her own selfish perspective. Darcy is about to be married to her perfect boyfriend, Dex, after being together for seven years. In keeping with her entitlement outlook on life, she seduces one of her fiance's groomsmen. When she discovers that she is pregnant, she at least has the decency to end her engagement and in the process alienates just about everyone in her life. I was uncomfortable with the first half of the book because Darcy's self centered attitude was a bit too realistically revealed by Emily. In the second half of the book, Darcy finally gains some self awareness or maybe instead other awareness: as she finally gains some insight and empathy for the effects of her actions on those around her.
The main character is a terrible, selfish person then pregnancy changes her and she suddenly becomes a good-hearted person. The writing was good but the plot line was ridiculous.
I wish I could have experienced this story via a 90 minute movie like I did Something Borrowed, rather than having to read the book, but it was alright. I'm not a chick lit kind of girl, though I like chick flicks.
Esse é o melhor livro da Emily Giffin, na minha opinião. (Releitura)
Não releio livros, pois sempre acabo achando a leitura um pouco fraca, sem surpresas, mas resolvi arriscar com este por ter gostado tanto da primeira vez, e, para minha surpresa, eu amei!!! Acompanhar a transformação da Darcy, que era insuportável no início, e como ela se apaixona pelo amigo foi ótimo, mesmo sabendo como tudo ia acontecer! Ela e Ethan formam um casal LINDO!!!
