Something Blue pg. 232-348

Something Blue by Emily Giffin was a really great book. I'm so happy that Dex and Rachel are together, because I believe that they were meant to be together. Darcy has moved on and found herself another man. Dex and Rachel had a little girl, Julia. Rachel and Darcy aren't on the best terms, but talk every once in awhile. I think it was cool how at the end, Darcy tells Rachel that she's going to use the ribbon as her "something blue." This book was a really great book and I liked it a lot. I noticed that Emily Giffin has a couple more books that I didn't know about; Baby Proof, Love the One Your With, and Heart of the Matter. I hope to read them some day. I still haven't seen the movie to Something Borrowed and I am really wanting and hoping to see it soon!

Something Blue pg. (131-231)

Dex has called off the wedding and told Darcy that he doesn't want to be with her anymore. This is very devastating for Darcy, but I'm happy that Dex finally did what he was going to do. I feel sorry for Darcy, but in a way I don't, because of the way she treated people. She was always the one that got everything she wanted, and now everything is taking a quick turn for the worse for Darcy. I hate that once Darcy and Dex are over with, Darcy is already trying to find another man, that she has to have what she wants. I think there is a great moral to this story which is, you can't always get what you want in life. Life is going to have its ups and downs, but no matter what happens you have to move on with your life and not give up. When things get bad there is always something that will make it better, it may not be exactly right after it happens, but it will happen eventually.

Something Blue pg. (30-130)

Something Blue by Emily Giffin is a really great book. I love her writing, it is just so good that I can't seem to put it down. Something Borrowed is also by Emily Giffin and this is the sequel to that book. I love how she keeps you entertained and she keeps you reading to keep finding out what happens next. Emily Giffin is so far my favorite author, her writings are just so good. It is slightly different having had Rachel be the one talking and now Darcy is the one talking. It upsets me with what happened to Darcy, but I believe it was the best for Dex and Rachel. This book and Something Borrowed both have many surprizes throughout the book. I absolutely love this story line, it keeps getting better and better. There is never a dull moment in this book, it always is grabbing your attention. I can't wait to see what will happen next in the book.

Something Blue by Emily Giffin is so far a pretty good book. I haven't gotten to far in it, as I just finished Something Borrowed and that was a really good book. Something Blue is the sequel to Something Borrowed. I am really excited to see what will happen next in this book.

Deadling pgs. 301-316

In the last few pages of the book Ben’s health really fails him. He sleeps more often than not, and has stopped going to school regularly. He loses a lot of weight, and is unhealthy looking. Marla (his old therapist) comes in to apologize for leaving him, to which he replies with kindness, and forgives her. Dallas also apologizes, but in the end Ben apologizes. Dallas ends up spending the night with him, and we know that he leaves the earth on good terms with Dallas. The epilogue tells what Cody talks about Ben. This book is definitely a tear-jerker, and one of the best books I’ve read in a long time.

Something Borrowed pg 149-249

This book is amazing! I absolutely love it and the suspense it leaves me with. I keep hoping that Dex will finally dump Darcy and call off the wedding. I really hope he does and then goes out with Rachel. Dex and Rachel seem like the perfect match. It is so cute when they are together, and I really hope he will forget about Darcy and go after Rachel. I didn't know that there was a movie to this book. I hope it is as good as the book, because the book is definitely not a disappointment so far. This is so far one of my favorite books that I have read. It even surpasses The Hunger Games series, and that series was my all-time favorite! I'm really excited to see how this book ends and to see what will happen in the sequel to this book!
