Something Borrowed: A Novel

Ok, here it goes. I had a similar experience before and it was not lovely at all. In a way, all of this should have been avoided if Rachel had spoken her truth. Literally. If Rachel would have given Dexter a chance in the beginning all of this crazy situation wouldn't have happened. And she would have been with Darcy as her maid of honor instead. All for a guy.. God damn.. I do blame Dexter as well because he should have said no and ask Rachel instead, he as well should have spoken the truth all along but he carried all this stupid façade with Darcy.. In the end Darcy is practically the victim of it all. I don't think Rachel was a good friend whatsoever.. And she shouldn't have put her in a pedestal as well.. Rachel should have known her own worth and her way of thinking of Darcy is so toxic as well.. Is insane how everything "worked" Out.. Rachel and Darcy broke up after a long time friendship and Dexter broke the two apart.. Plus the Cheating part from Darcy could have been avoided if Dexter wasn't sleeping around with her friend. So basically it was Dexter's fault all together, the whole thing was his fault.. I do blame him.. He could have avoided if he had said no to Darcy on a date, and gone straight to Rachel.. Then he would have been friends still with Darcy and Marcus.. In which in the end.. They would or could have been a couple.. but damn.. Is so insane how everything broke off.. Both relationships broken by two people.. That's harsh.. I Still liked the writing of the book and the way how everything unfolded was good as well That's why I'm giving it 4 stars. **My experience was that my bf moved in with me while having a roommate female and they slept together and she told me the next day crying because she didn't wanted to lose our friendship.. Well she did lost our friendship and I left him, did came back to him but did again with a co-worker from work, so for reals I left the bastard.. That's how it happened to me** :/

I love this book but this is a rare example of where the movie is much better. Maybe I'm biased though because I adore John Krasinski and the Ethan character.

This book was very well written and is always a wonderful read. I read this book at least once per year. It brings me comfort; I get a good laugh, shed a tear or two and always finish it with a smile. It’s not exactly the typical happy ending, but it’s a reminder that is usually how real life goes. 🥰

I read this book to give myself a break after reading "Gone With the Wind." Obviously, nothing could possibly ever follow that one up. But I gave this book four stars simply for the fact that I enjoyed reading it. It was a fun, easy read that captured and held my attention consistently through to the end. And, I personally felt the moral dilemma being presented throughout the book, and even felt strongly about it at times to the point where I had to vent about it. That, in my mind, accounts for good writing, since it got me worked up enough to care. I will probably read other books by this author, but not right away since I now need a break from chick-lit.

Love this book , & Something Blue
