From the "New York Times"-bestselling author of "Something Borrowed"--now a major motion picture opening on June 10--comes a novel that shows how someone with a "perfect life" can lose it all--and then find everything. Martin's Griffin. Reviews "Highly entertaining...Despite a happy ending, Giffin raises thorny questions. A long friendship can (like marriage) turn claustrophobic or abusive. Is infidelity the solution? And why are pretty girls so easily taken in by scheming Plain Janes?""--Boston Globe" "Witty and compelling, "Something Blue" reaffirms a lesson we all should have learned long ago: Love doesn't need a fairy tale, fancy wrapping or a big price tag. Often, it's better without.""--Charlotte Observer " "Giffin's writing is warm and engaging; readers will find themselves cheering for Darcy as she proves people can change in this captivating tale.""--Booklist "(starred review) "Giffin's plotting and prose are so engaging that she quickly becomes a fun, friendly presence in your reading life.""--Chicago Sun-Times " "Darcy is Scarlett O'Hara set in modern [day]...Giffin orchestrates her gradual change ingeniously and successfully answers any "Gone With the Wind" fan who wondered if, after Rhett Butler decided he didn't give a damn, Scarlett ever morphed into someone softer.""--Newark Star-Ledger " "Smartly written. The dialogue is real with lightly rendered lessons about what really matters in life...Emily Giffin knows what she's doing.""--Winston-Salem Journal" "Emily Giffin's sophomore effort is a joy to read from start to finish, taking the egotistical villainess of her first novel and turning her into an unlikely heroine. Any woman who carries the scars of a broken friendship will appreciate this literary gem, which covers every emotional battleground possible--from rejection and betrayal to self-discovery and pregnancy.""--CanWest" "A touching depiction of one woman's surprising discoveries about the true meaning of friendship and happily-ever after. Sometimes you can lose it all, only to find everything in the end.""--The State (SC) " "The author's impressive knack for intimacy and insight sparkles in this delightful novel."--"Hamptons" magazine |
