Something Blue by Emily Griffin

Review

I started reading this book though chick lit is not really my favorite genre because it was in my self-imposed list for the 50 book challenge this year.

Trying to objective with a book one wouldn't actually pick is a hard job, but I’ll do my best.

The story flows well, and has all the elements expected. The heroine trying to marry Mr. Right, only that her concept of Mr. Right changes with her. A best friend, some other friends, family, a change of scenery, and a few different men in her life, with a pregnancy included are the principal ingredients.

I hated Darcy in the beginning of the book, though it was predicable that she was going to redeem herself at some point. Personally, I think her change was a little drastic and I didn't see the character grow gradually, but the result was the desired one.

If you read ‘Something borrowed’ before, you’d probably be expecting more of Rachel in here and you surely would find Darcy even more shallow, but if this one is your first pick, it works perfect as a stand alone.

Highlights: Mature heroine around 30 (not your classic high-school college girl), variety of situations and elements to keep the story entertaining.

Things I didn't like: The character development. It’s also lacking some fresh humor usually typical of this kind of stories.

If you like the genre, you’d probably enjoy the book.
