Publisher 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.

"I wasn't a big fan of Darcy in Something Borrowed. But I began to understand where she was coming from in this sequel. Emily Griffin did a great job coming up with these two novels, which showcased the story from different point of views of the main characters. It's always better to get to know both sides of the story."

    — Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada
  • Page-turning, heartbreakingly honest.

    — Entertainment Weekly, Grade A
  • What kind of self-described ‘nice girl’ would sleep with her best friend’s fiancé? One who’s seriously flawed, like this delightful debut novel’s heroine, but also surprisingly winning and real.

    " Great read. Never thought I would like the main character after something borrowed, but author did a rear job telling her side. "

    " I loved this book. It's like candy. Particularly fun to read if you remember Something Borrowed to some degree - same characters, lots of antics. A great beach read! "

    " I really liked this. Darcy is such an awful person (in Something Borrowed) that I wasn't sure I wanted to read a whole book about her. Somehow, her arc really felt real. "

    " A very good read from start to finish. Though I didn't really like Darcy at first, this book made me appreciate her character more. The story shows that even the most immature person can change if they are really determined to, just like Darcy. "

    " Typical chick lit. Very predictable but was a perfect audiobook to get me through a 10 hour drive. It was like listening to a fun romantic comedy. "

    " The first half of this book was very difficult to get through. I lot of whiny by a very selfish woman was very irritating. The second half of the book was much better. A light easy read if you can stick it out through the first half. I found other books by this author much better. "

    " It was a bit slow in the beginning and I really didn't like Darceys character at all. I couldn't put the second half of the book down and even shed a few tears. Great chick lit. Preferred this book to the first one. "

    " I couldn't get in to it. I need at least one reason to be on the protagonist's side. I couldn't stand Darcy. Hopefully she redeems herself at the end of the book... I'll never know! "

    " I was surprised how much I was interested in Darcy's story. She became a really endearing character, which was interesting given the fact that I hated her so much in Something Borrowed. I am still very much a Dex-Rachel fan though--sorry, Darce. Worth a read if you liked Something Borrowed. "
