Journal Entry 1 by Blundery on Sunday, May 25, 2008

About the book.....
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.

Ya' know, I never did like her even at the end! I don't know if my dislike for Darcy was too ingrained from reading the previous book first (Something borrowed), but I just found her so annoyingly self absorbed and I wasn't happy that her happy ever after came so easily.
Although, I did enjoy reading the book - yes, thats right, I enjoyed reading a book whilst filled with dislike towards the main character - go figure.

Received in the post yesterday. Have a few rings in front of this one. Will be reading and sending on before Halloween.


Reading today at the airport while waiting for my mother and cousin to board for Italy. I loved the first book, told from Rachel's perspective. 

Journal Entry 12 by sunfi from Alexandria, Virginia USA on Monday, October 06, 2008

Received in the mail today along with Something Borrowed. Thanks to Blundery for including me and thanks to spaceystacey for shipping them to me. A have a couple other rings before these but will get them in the mail to DitteL before Thanksgiving. 

Journal Entry 13 by sunfi from Alexandria, Virginia USA on Tuesday, November 04, 2008

Finished this one last night. At the beginning I really didn't like Darcy and I didn't know if I could make it through an entire book of her whining. I decided to try and get through it and I did and the payoff was worth it. I enjoyed reading about her transformation, growth, and maturing. I'm glad I read these two books, I already have DitteL address so I will get this out in the mail sometime this week along with Something Borrowed.

I've received this together with its partner today. I've a couple of books which I need to read before these two, but I 'll get to them as soon as possible.

Thanks for sharing Blundery and thanks for sending Sunfi 

Journal Entry 16 by DitteL from Næstved, Storstrøms Amt Denmark on Wednesday, December 17, 2008

Finished reading this today. I don't think Emily Giffin will ever become one of my favourite chick-lit authors but I definately think that this book was better than the first one. IMO Rachel was really onesided whereas Darcy turns out to be so much more. And even though chick-lits are always predictable I do love a happy ending, and I know that I'll get one every time.

I already got solskinn's address but we've agreed that I won't send her the two books until the beginning of the new year as she'll be away for the holidays.

Once again thanks for sharing Blundery.

Journal Entry 20 by solskinn from Wien - irgendwo / Vienna - somewhere, Wien Austria on Wednesday, June 24, 2009

I loved reading this book as much as I loved its prequel! An enthralling story that I couldn't put down, and interesting to read it all from Darcy's point of view. - I still liked Rachel's Story (Something Borrowed) slightly better though.
