I read Something Borrowed, and this book for a book club and I'm so glad I continued to read this book. I've seen that there are actually six books in this series, but I'm going to pretend I didn't see that because this book wraps everything up with a nice little bow. 

Did you continue reading this book to see if you reeeeally hated all of the characters in the first book, and just needed to see if they could get any worse? Same, and you'll be sorely disappointed! The amount of character growth that happened for Darcy was astounding. I didn't feel like I was reading the same characters anymore, but in the absolute best way. 

The most insufferable character I've ever had the now privilege to read gets her entire life turned upside down, Fresh Prince style, and has to turn to an old friend for an adventure and a desperate wake up call. This book gives you a complete 180 life change, soul breaking heartbreak, love, adventure, and wraps everything up in a way that makes this book well worth the read of the first book. I'm super happy I read it.
