memiuccia 's review for:
Something Blue
by Emily Giffin
I usually don't write reviews, because honestly, I can't be bothered to, since one or other reader always writes basically the same thing I felt while reading the book, so I just leave it at that.
However, I stand in a different position that probably most of the other readers since I've never read Something Borrowed or watched the movie. (I picked up this book as means of passing the time in the Discovery Cove park because I had nothing else to do.)
Cutting to the chase: I truly, deeply hate Rachel. She is, as Darcy so eloquently pointed out in this novel, a backstabbing cow.
By no means I'm saying Darcy was innocent and what she did while being engaged to Dex was ok, she was incredibly selfish and obnoxiously narcissistic in the beginning of this book, but Rachel can't exactly be considered a saint.
All things considered, this is a really great read and seeing Darcy's character evolve the way she did was brilliant and tear-inducing in the epilogue. :)
However, one thing that will always bother me is how Rachel got her happy ending with absolutely no difficulty whatsoever and she didn't suffer half of what Darcy had to endure throughout the book.
This obviously comes from being introduced to the plot through Darcy's POV, but right now I honestly can't even think of picking up Something Borrowed because I don't think I could stand reading 300+ of a character I hate so much telling the story of how she got her undeserved happy ending.
Ps. Giffin gets extra points the mention of Prince Harry, the ginger talk and the use of the word "dapper". :)
