Something Blue by Emily Giffin

4.0

DO NOT READ FOR ME ONLY. This one was hard for me to pick up because after reading the first one (a long time ago), you just don't want to care or even know what was in Darcy's head after knowing she cheated and got pregnant with a man's baby that wasn't her husband. But from the point of picking it up, I simply could not put it down until I was forced to. The basic rundown: during her engagement to Dex she gets bored and starts seeing Marcus and then has sex with him that lands her with a baby in her belly. The wedding gets called off and she finds out about Dex and Rachel (from the first book) she cuts them all out of her life and starts over with marcus to find out that he is a pig with no ambition and something of just a lust rather than a life long love. When things don't work out for her and she loses all her friends she decides to leave the city and stay with an old friend Ethan, who is also really close with Rachel. In her time in London, she learns of the selfish conceited little bitch that she really was in New York and starts to change her ways. She starts preparing for the baby better, making friends and trying (but not succeeding) at finding a job. Although dating one guy she begins to fall for Ethan and finally when she is bed ridden till the pregnancy and Ethan offers to keep her at his place instead of the boyfriends is when she realizes she has to break up with him. By the end of the book she has TWINS, falls in love with Ethan and they end up getting married and guess who actually comes to the wedding?! Rachel and Dex. Happy ending once again. But this book really brings you to terms with Darcy and creates this fond compassion for the girl we first hated and its amazing how Giffin could turn it around so easy. At one point I liked Darcy better than Rachel. Felt for her more. Maybe it was just all the wrong turns she had to take before she got it right but the book left you with a smile on your face and a tear in your eye. Definitely a good read.
