Something Blue: A Novel

From the New York Times–bestselling author of Something Borrowed and a "modern-day Jane Austen" comes a novel that shows how someone with a "perfect life" can lose it all—and then find everything (Vanity Fair). "You don't have to lust after your best friend's boyfriend to worship this book. Here's a heroine you'll root for and a book you won't want to put down." —Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada 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. Emily Giffin's Something Blue is a novel about one woman's surprising discoveries about the true meaning of friendship, love, and happily-ever-after. It's a novel for anyone who has ever, even secretly, wondered if the last thing you want is really the one thing you need. Praise for Something Blue "Page-turning, heartbreakingly honest." —Entertainment Weekly, Grade A "What kind of self-described 'nice girl' would sleep with her best friend's fiancé? One who's seriously flawed, like this delightful debut novel's heroine, but also surprisingly winning and real." —Glamour "A thrill to read." —Washington Post "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)
