Something Blue by Emily Giffin (2006, Paperback, Reprint)

I decided to buy this book after reading Emily Giffin's "Something Borrowed." There was an excerpt in the back of "Something Borrowed" for "Something Blue," and because I am always interested in the "after story," I searched Ebay for the sequel. This book is, in many ways, more interesting than the first, perhaps because the ground work had already been laid in "Something Borrowed" regarding the main character (Darcy) of this follow-up book, a self-centered, spoiled rich girl who is the epitome of everything shallow. I started off not liking this character at all (her attitude towards life and towards her "best friend" Rachel reminded me of someone I went to high school with, hitting a little too close to home initially), but, by the time I got mid-way through the book, I was rooting for Darcy and egging her on to victory. For me, the best thing about this book is the transformation of Darcy, from someone who does not know the true meaning of the word friend to someone who realizes what loving someone really means and who finally understands the damage her behavior has caused those around her, as well as what it has cost her. Emily Giffin's writing style flows naturally and without any pretentiousness, as if she almost doesn't have to think about what to say. I found it very difficult to put this book down (along with her other books, which includes her newest novel, "Baby Proof". I kept promising myself only one more chapter, but one chapter lead to another, lead to another, and so on. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking to find a book easy to read but with a touching (albeit a tad sappy) moral and message to the story.

Darcy is beautiful. Beautiful and immature and selfish and spiteful and not a very likable person, actually. You're in her shoes, though, so you stick it out with her.

You travel with her as she cheats on her fiance, basically because she's bored with him and because the new guy showed some interested in her all-brains/average looks best friend, Rachel.

You travel with her as she becomes pregnant with the stoner she cheated with, breaks off her engagement, and finds her ex-fiance and Rachel in bed together.

You travel with her as she replaces Rachel with the equally unlikable Claire. As she drives the stoner nuts with her Rachel obsession. As he dumps her, pregnant, and she begs for the fiance back.

She hits a low. But then you travel with her as she moves to England and becomes a new, and better, person.

Though Rachel isn't in the book a lot, her presence is. Emily Giffin does an outstanding job with that.

By the end of the book, you will love Darcy.

The book is very cleverly and appropriately titled "Something Blue" for a few reasons--symbolically, traditionally, and emotionally.

Pick this one up; you'll love it! Stick with Darcy, too. Don't give up on her. She won't disappoint.

I bought this book because I just got finished reading Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. Something Blue is a sequel to Something Borrowed. I am half way thru the book so far and love it. Everytime I start reading the book I never want to put it down. Hope this review helps if you are looking at this book. Excellent read.

I read the first book Something Borrowed and fell in love with it. I could not wait to read Something Blue. This book was excellent, could not put it down. So glad I found it on ebay at a great price.

Emily Giffin does it again with another amazing book. I read it in less than 3 days. It was a great follow up to the book Something Borrowed. If you like romance novels these two books are must reads!

A must read AFTER Something Borrowed! I just had to find out what happened to Rachel & Dex, and Darcy! I couldn't put it down... Another must read by the same author is Baby Proof (although it has all different characters, it is also quite good!)

This book is the conclusion of the story started with Giffin's "Something Borrowed". The preview given at the end of Giffin's first novel is enough to make the laziest of readers eager to get their hands on "Something Blue."

This book is very entertaining and difficult to put down...will the girl get the guy and will she live happily ever after?!?

The ending is somewhat predictable, but quite enjoyable nonetheless and will leave readers smiling and believing in second chances.

If you 've read Something borrowed you have to absolutely read Something blue. It's the other side of the story...........this time is all around Darcy in a different way.

I really enjoyed this book, couldn't put it down. A very cute and light read. Seller sent it quickly.

This is an excellent book. I had a hard time putting it down. She does an amazing job of getting you to feel like you really know her characters. Perfect girly book!

LOW PRICE! GREAT CONDITION BOOK! Wife wanted this book and saw the listing. It was an amazing low price and in perfect condition. Couldn't pass up a bargain!

Its a great addition to the series, also this book is awsome Alice kept me very interested....................................................................................................................................................

This book had a slower start than the rest of Emily Giffin's books, but once I got into it, I could not put it down. It's a page turner filled with romance!

Item was exactly what I wanted! Item description was very accurate! I read the first book in this series and couldn't wait to get my hands on this next book! So glad I was able to find it on here for such a great price! Would love to do business with you again! Thanks so much!

Book was in average used condition. I purchased this book for my daughter who is an avid reader. I buy alot of books mostly for her. I was a little disappointed in this buy.

Not even two weeks ago i finished reading "Something Borrowed" and the book leaves you in such a suspense that you just wanna know whats next.Thats why i ordered "something blue".Th story its just so real that you even think you are part of it.I totally love it.

i read something borrowed and decided to buy hte next book so that i could see what happened to darcy and the baby! i liked this book but i thought the first one was better.

So far so good. Just when you think you know what is gonna happen in her books she suprises you with something else. You definitely need to read "Something Borrowed" before reading this one to get the full story of the characters

My friend told me that I had to read Something Blue by Emily Griffin. I bought it one month ago and as of now I have read it and Something Borrowed and Baby Proof! I love all of her books so far. I just can't put them down! I would recommend it to anyone :)

Great book and a quick read.......you won't want to put it down!!!!! Loved it as much as her first (Something Borrowed)! Perfect for a summer read.

What an excellent book! It will pull you in from the beginning! Well written and played out and a great 2nd novel.

All things good.A must read. Already read the 1st book can not wait to read this one. Everyone should read.

After reading the first book "Something Borrowed" I "HAD" to read this book. It was just as good as the first one, and cost much less on ebay. :)

I'm newly engaged and I highly recommend these books to any other newly engaged
bride to be. Very funny, and very good writing.

I love this book , I couldn't stop reading it, I can't wait to read her other books!! I highly recommmend it to any woman !!!!
