I just caught the middle to end of Something Borrowed on HBO. It is actually a movie rendition of the book Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. I read this book so long ago, but have to say when I saw the movie it brought so many memories of the book back.
If you are an avid reader, you would know that there are a lot of bad, TERRIBLE, movie renditions of books. This is a perfect example of a good one. I know that the charter of Darcy Rhone is supposed to be a brunette, but aside from that, everything in the movie reminds me of why I loved the book so much. If you have or even haven't seen the movie, I recommend reading both books.
Something Borrowed, is a story about Rachel and her best friend since forever, Darcy. Darcy gets everything she wants, and Rachel is just happy to be her best friend in New York while persuing her dream job as a lawyer. It all goes downhill though when Darcy, being the life of the party at her birthday, leaves Rachel and Darcy's fiancé Dex to end up together. You'll love Rachel, even though she's the one stealing her friend's man, trust me.
Something Blue is Darcy's story. I won't say much about the storyline, because it really picks up right after Something Borrowed. But, I will say that there is a lot of Ethan, who was Rachel's go to friend during her whole fiasco in Something Borrowed.
Read both books, and hopefully ::fingers crossed:: they will make Something Blue into a movie soon!
Left to right: Ethan, Rachel, Darcy, Dex
Go read the books!
