Something Blue by Emily Giffin
2.0
I had a feeling going in (based on the last book) that the one thing I could certainly expect was that no matter what happened, everything was going to be fine...better than fine...probably perfect, by the end. And it was. Right down to the convenient "oh but don't worry, not even the castoffs are left single" thing at the end.
Aside from the heavily contrived happy endings, Darcy's portrayal really annoyed me. Not who she was or what she was like, but the way the narration looked down its nose at her; it screamed false. It was almost like handing Rachel a pen and asking her to try and write what Darcy must think of herself. "Oh, I say shallow things like this all the time," thinks no one who says shallow things all the time.
It got two stars instead of one because despite the contents, I like the writing. It's clear and simple, easy to sink into.
