Something Blue

After reading Something Borrowed I went into it knowing that I might not like the book being that it focuses on Darcy. I was "Team Rachel" from the start. I thought it was great that Darcy was finally getting what she deserved. People turning away from her and a chance for her to see what she had.
Ethan, Darcy and Rachel's childhood friend takes in Darcy the mom to be. Ethan is quick to set her straight and point out her faults. But at the same time like any good chick lit there is a twist and sparks fly.
I found this book interesting. I liked reading how Darcy's pregnancy was coming together and seeing how reluctant she was in the situation. The Author showed a lot of character development and great writing. I would suggest reading this book especially if you read Something Borrowed. There is a quick recap in the beginning of the book if you didn't read the SB. It is a fun read and I am really hopping that the powers that be in Hollywood make this one into a movie too!

Something Borrowed

What would you do if you were in Rachel's shoes? That is the question that this book makes you ask yourself. This is chick lit at it's best. The characters and plot are very predictable. You know what is going to happen but the well written tale by Giffin is what makes the book fantastic.
Darcy is the wild child and gets her way, Rachel is the good girl who follows the rules and works hard. So why are they friends? That question is haunting Rachel and she finds herself betraying her Best Friend by sleeping with her fiancee.
I read this book in 2008 and did not retain most of it. I re-read it before the movie drops this coming weekend and was SO happy that I did. I loved this book. I tore thru it finding quotes and passages that spoke to me. There is a lot of history of the girls friendship woven in this book. It brings you back to the 5th grade. I would suggest this book for the people out there who like a real chick lit, who don't mind figuring out the plot and say read it before you see the movie!
