I honestly was unsure if I would like either novel.
I personally became invested in both of Griffith’s novels because of the movie, Something Borrowed, which is based on the first novel and stars the ever beautiful, John Krasinski as Ethan. Just as Rachel and Dex were meant to happen, it is the same for these two characters as readers see the bickering turn to attraction and then into love.
Sending Darcy to London to reconnect with Ethan spurs a wonderful story that once again proves how everything that is supposed to happen will happen. Darcy’s personal growth from a narcissistic, vapid, immature person to a caring, warm individual is truly lovely as she finally sees what the world is really like and what it means to truly love someone. You are completely aware of how everything revolved around her and how she seemingly lived the “perfect life.” In this sequel, we peek into Darcy’s thoughts and see how she becomes a completely different Darcy. If you read Something Borrowed, you already have a history with Darcy through Rachel’s eyes. As a reader, you see a natural transformation of the self-centered, materialistic Darcy to the caring, kind, considerate Darcy. When Darcy and Ethan reunite, sparks fly, igniting the idea that love can be found in the most unexpected places.Įmily Giffin’s sequel to Something Borrowed does not disappoint as she allows us to see through Darcy’s eyes.
Darcy abandons her New York City life and hops on a plane to London to see her other childhood friend, Ethan. Darcy realizes it is time for her to do something bold in order to change her life for the better. However, it isn’t until Rachel and Dex realize that they love each other, an unanticipated pregnancy, and her paramour, Marcus, breaking up with her, that Darcy realizes life won’t always be so easy. Darcy always had good things just happen to her.
Darcy was always the pretty and popular one who had everything handed to her.
