Book Description:
From the New York Times bestselling author of Something Borrowed comes a novel that shows how someone with a ‘perfect life’ can lose it all—and then find everything.
Darcy Rhone thought she had it all figured out: the more beautiful the girl, the more charmed her life. Never mind substance. Never mind playing by the rules. Never mind karma.
But Darcy’s neat, perfect world turns upside down when her best friend, Rachel, the plain-Jane "good girl," steals her fiancé, while Darcy finds herself completely alone for the first time in her life…with a baby on the way.
Darcy tries to recover, fleeing to her childhood friend living in London and resorting to her tried-and-true methods for getting what she wants. But as she attempts to recreate her glamorous life on a new continent, Darcy finds that her rules no longer apply. It is only then that Darcy can begin her journey toward self-awareness, forgiveness, and motherhood.
Something Blue is a novel about one woman’s surprising discoveries about the true meaning of friendship, love, and happily-ever-after. It’s a novel for anyone who has ever, even secretly, wondered if the last thing you want is really the one thing you need.

You should read "Something Borrowed" before you read this book, but you could read it on its own. This book is about Darcy, who after reading "Something Borrowed", I felt was a really self absorbed person and a terrible friend. I was surprised that Giffin decided to write a continuation of "Something Borrowed" from Darcy's point of view, and more surprised that Darcy redeems herself. Instead of focussing on the betrayal of her best friend and fiance, Darcy has to reevaluate her life and eventually starts to work on her own character, but she stumbles quite a bit on the way. She finds herself pregnant and moves to England to start over, crashing at a friends apartment while she regroups. Good story about it never being too late to grow up and change.

I really enjoyed the set of Something Borrowed and Something Blue, but I have to say that I dislike when books wrap things up too cleanly. Darcy is a horrible narcissist and this book does not make her that more likeable. Someone as selfish as Darcy should not have everything perfect in the end, just because she had to stop shopping and got yelled at once by the person who she is mooching off of. Rachel is Something Borrowed is a much better heroine.

Good book, but you wanted to reach into the pages and beat the crap out of the selfish, materialistic, brat Darcey. She is your classic queen bee who learns things the worng way. A little predictable but a good read.

I read this book, which is the sequel to "Something Borrowed," first - which I absolutely can't stand to do. At the time I had no idea there was a predessor though. I hated the heroine in this novel for a vast majority of the book but I couldn't put it down. To me, to keep me interested in a book that I hate the heroine in is a feat!!! As the book irons out though you'll come to love not only the book but the heroine as well... although I think it may be better to read this in the proper order so things aren't quite as spoiled for you. VERY captivating read!

This is a excellent book about friendship and love. I would also recommend that you read "Somthing Borrowed" s this is the second in the series. The characters are very well developed and there will be something in the book that you can relate to. You could take this book to the beach or on vacation, enjoy and still get somthing out of it.

I really enjoyed this book! Darcy isn't the most likable character at first, but she did grow on me. I liked the ending despite hearing mixed reviews about it. Definitely a book I would recommend if you liked the previous novel Something Borrowed.

Like many readers, I didn't think I'd enjoy this because Darcy was such a destable character in Something Borrowed. She's much more stomachable, even likable, in Something Blue, and it's interesting to see the earlier events filtered through her decided and defiant tone.

This book follows "Something Borrowed" in the new series by Emily Giffin. I must warn you, if you haven't read Something Borrowed, read it before reading this. You'll definitely feel like you're missing pieces of the puzzle if you don't. With that said, this was a fantastic book. At the end of Something Borrowed, I found myself hating Darcy with passion. This book puts a completely different spin on the story and kind of leaves you with a soft spot for Darcy. A good read. I took it to the beach on vacation and had SUCH a hard time putting it down.

Loved this book! It was interesting how they took the "bad" girl character from the previous book and then made her likeable!
The fornication in this book is outrageous. Not a good read for a true Christian.
Deanna S. (Def a sweet ending to Something Borrowed. A quick enjoyable read :)
Tiffany C. (This is the next book after something borrowed. This book is from the best friends side of view and at the end of the last book you hated her, this book will make you love her. Very good book. Has laughs and will make you cry
Excellent book. Great sequel to Something Borrowed. I couldnt put it down.
Jessica F. (It's a good book. I didn't read the first one, Something Borrowed, but I can't wait to read it! I have recommended this book to so many friends!
Great book to read while you are expecting your first child... or to give to someone who is!
A great follow up to Something Borrowed. You could kind of tell where things were headed in the book, but it was great to see the way it happened. Wonderful read!
Emily did not disappoint. Another awesome page turner until the very end!!
