Of course this kind of behavior brought her some problems eventually. While Rachel and Dex were great, Darcy & Ethan just gave me so much more than what I was looking for.Īt the beginning of the book we get a totally immature heroine, just a brat who is used to get everything she has ever wanted and just the way she wants it, not having a care for what happens to others while she achieves what she wants. We get to Darcy's and Ethan's book and let me just say: OMG I LOVED THIS BOOK! I had already fallen in love with the characters in it after watching the movie based on Something Borrowed, but now I can certainly say that Darcy and Ethan were the real deal. Some huge changes due to meaningful love triangles:Īnd the lost of a very important friendship: I finished these two novels in 1.5 days.again, worth a good day at the beach/pool/on the couch.Īfter some very funny moments on book one: By making Darcy the very hated but ultimate hero of the second book.Griffin takes a resistant reader and makes her unwilling to put the book down. I'd still like to see a novel that returned the focus to Rachel, but I know why the author went the route she did. And, I will willfully admit, I was tearing up during the Epilogue. Griffin achieves her goal by making the reader, resistantly, start to at least like Darcy a little more. I was completely resistant to the movement as I knew where this was going, and I simply did not want it to go there. I loved the focus on Ethan as he was one of my favorite characters from Something Borrowed. The plot was fairly predictable-you knew she was seeking redemption in the novel as well as with the reader, and the ending was equally predictable. 254 pages in, and I still thought she sucked. I left Something Borrowed really hating that character. Okay, so I hated that this book focused on Darcy and not Rachel.
