A beautiful story indeed.
I think what Emily Giffin trying to say is, you cannot fully judge someone before looking at their point of view.

I am so freaking surprised that I never read this book yet. I remember the movie and the actors.. but yeah for some odd reason I never listened/read this one.
Something Blue is about Darcy's wonderful love life. Or the lack of it actually. In the beginning of this book, well okay - for most of this book, I hated Darcy. Her character was so annoying, whiny, selfish, and self-centered. Oh lord, I just kept eye rolling every damn time she acted like a child. Thankfully, she goes to visit Ethan and he doesn't sugar coat a damn thing for her.
Ethan, my love. Oh lord he was amazing. He called her out on her shit and basically told her to grow tf up. Thank god for that whole thing because she finally took a giant step back and realized the way she was acting and how she wasn't doing anything for her kids - was awful. I don't understand the whole not eating thing throughout her pregnancy because her baby wasn't getting anything out of it. Then there's the whole drinking thing and I was in shock.
Towards the end of this book, I started to like it. Mostly because of Ethan. I thought the whole twins thing was cute. The wedding was even cuter. Plus Dax and Rachel were adorable at the end - man, I love those two. Overall, the last part of this book was definitely my favorite.

I loved this book. I read "Something Borrowed" a few years ago and I just adored the characters and the unpredictable drama that broke out. When I first started "Something Blue" I was annoyed with Darcy and I thought that if this whole book is about a shallow whiny New York City elitist I wasn't going to like it. Without ruining the whole book, I didn't end up dreading reading about Darcy and her endeavors, I ended up loving her character as much as I loved Rachel in "Something Borrowed". What a great idea, to essentially write of the same story from different perspectives, and then from each individual we see where their personal stories lead. I wish that there was a another book in this series because I just want to follow Darcy and Rachel's lives forever now. It was an easy read that I didn't want to put down and makes me more exited to read Emily Giffin's other novels!
I thought the beginning was a little slow but I loved how everything turned out in the end :)
"Be sure and read Something Borrowed first as sequel - A great followup story about romance, best friends, and forgiveness...Loved it! Reading her new one now on Nook - "Where we Belolng".

I heavily disliked Darcy in the first book and through most of this one. But as she realized her behavior was toxic af towards the end, she wasn't so insufferable anymore and I got to a point where I was even happy for her HEA. Everyone deserves forgiveness and redemption, and Emily Griffin wrote Darcy's perfectly ❤️
