Still on My Mind #12
I became obsessed with this week's Still on My Mind, last year. I originally read the book, because even though I'd seen the book around Target numerous times, the ultimate thing that led me to buying it was the release of the movie, which starred Kate Hudson.
I devoured this book within a couple of days, and bought the second one as soon as I had the opportunity to. Recently, I read a short prequel, that the author offered for free in ebook form, and was happy to get back into their world.
For this week's Still on My Mind, I have chosen Something Borrowed and Something Blue by Emily Giffin.
Something Borrowed 's description from Goodreads:
"Something Borrowed"
tells the story of Rachel, a young attorney living and working in
Manhattan. Rachel has always been the consummate good girl---until her
thirtieth birthday, when her best friend, Darcy, throws her a party.
That night, after too many drinks, Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy's
fiance. Although she wakes up determined to put the one-night fling
behind her, Rachel is horrified to discover that she has genuine
feelings for the one guy she should run from. As the September wedding
date nears, Rachel knows she has to make a choice. In doing so, she
discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings
aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk all to win true
happiness. "Something Borrowed" is a phenomenal debut novel that will
have you laughing, crying, and calling your best friend.
Something Blue 's description from Goodreads:
Following the smash-hit SOMETHING BORROWED comes story of betrayal, redemption, and forgiveness
Darcy Rhone has always been able to rely on a few things: Her beauty and charm. Her fiance, Dex. Her lifelong best friend, Rachel. She never needed anything else. Or so she thinks until Dex calls off their dream wedding and she uncovers the ultimate betrayal. Blaming everyone but herself, Darcy flees to London and attempts to re-create her glamorous life on a new continent. But to her dismay, she discovers that her tried-and-true tricks no longer apply--and that her luck has finally expired. It is only then that she can begin her journey toward redemption, forgiveness, and true love.
