  <description><![CDATA[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 fiance, while Darcy finds herself completely alone for the first time in her life with a baby on the way. <br/>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. <br/>It is only then that Darcy can begin her journey toward self-awareness, forgiveness, and motherhood. Something Blue is a novel about one womans 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.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, so I hated that this book focused on Darcy and not Rachel.  I left Something Borrowed really hating that character.  254 pages in, and I still thought she sucked.  The plot was fairly predictable--you knew she was seeking redemption in the novel as well as with the reader, and the ending was e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3730888">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As the second (sequel) to Emily Giffin's Something Borrowed I was equally drawn into this novel as well. Something Blue is an interesting writing approach to being a counterpart. Something Blue takes off from essentially where Something Borrowed left off but instead with another person as the main c...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14288429">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[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 fiance, while Darcy finds herself completely alone for the first time in her life with a baby on the way. <br/>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. <br/>It is only then that Darcy can begin her journey toward self-awareness, forgiveness, and motherhood. Something Blue is a novel about one womans 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.]]>

This book is fun to read in that you get a totally different point of view of the story in Something Borrowed; however, it is also a continuation of this book.

    <![CDATA[From the New York Times bestselling author of <em>Something Borrowed</em> comes a novel that shows how someone with a 'perfect life' can lose it all- and then find everything Darcy thought she had it all figured out: The more beautiful the girl, the more charmed her life. <br/>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 fiance, while Darcy finds herself pregnant, dumped by two men, and completely alone for the first time in her life. 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. <br/>It is only then that Darcy can begin her journey toward self-awareness, forgiveness, and motherhood. Something Blue is a charming and complex portrait of one woman and her surprising discoveries about the true meaning of friendship, love and happily-ever-after.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[&quot;Something Blue&quot; is a continuation of sorts from &quot;Something Borrowed&quot; but the main character in this book is Darcy, the conceited best friend to Rachael who just stole Darcy's fiance Dex. Sounds sort of soap opera-y because it is. After having lost her fiance as well as her fling...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65338988">more...</a>]]></body>
