Heather C. (dgheather) - , reviewed Hmph.....NOT a sequel to Something Borrowed, but a different story line. on 6/4/2009

So picture me, all psyched having finshed Something Borrowed in uber record time and totally stoked about reading the further wonderment of Rachel and her new beau Dex. Now picture me, one chapter into the book, with flames coming out of my ears because Something Blue is NOT a sequel of Something Borrowed, but it is the story of Darcy's take on the situation and how she got herself knocked up and how she simply can't believe that noone is apologizing to her and OH POOR DARCY. Picture me LIVID!!! But of course, I still read the book, because I'm certain that at some point, Rachel and Dex HAVE to come into the picture. I hated the book nearly all the way through it, I was rooting for Ethan to kick Darcy out and for Marcus's balls to grow large enough to stop dealing with her shennanigan's and ditch her sorry behind onto the streets of Manhatten. But of course, I couldn't stop reading, because I NEEDED to know what happened. I will give Giffin a B+ in her Sophomore writing attempt, the story line is woven better, but I simply can't understand who can be that self-centered. This is a GREAT novel to give to those friends who don't realize they think they are the center of the world.....The book wraps up a little to neatly, but, hey, it is chick lit :)
