Significance: This story is about true love. That true love is invincible, and can get through anything. A wealthy lady (Darcy) is dating a lovely, smart, gentleman, when she meets his friend, who she has an affair with. She thinks that she is in love with both guys until she is reunited with her former friend from middle school. Its also about karma; Darcy does many naughty things in her past life, and she has to pay when she is unexpectedly pregnant with twin boys. It seems her life can’t get any worse, but she is broke, and hasn’t bought anything for the babies yet.
Perspective: This book was written by Emil Giffin. I am experiencing this story from Darcy’s point of view. If it was from her ex-boyfriend/fiancé’s point of view he might think of her actions a bit juvenile when Darcy sees nothing wrong with it at all. This book was probably taken place in present days because of most girls presently are obsessed with shopping, and Darcy practically lives at the mall. If this story was written by a male, I think that the story would be totally different; the main character might be a guy, and he is obsessed with girls, and skate boarding, and he probably wouldn’t be pregnant.
Evidence: Something Blue sounds very true, and could actually be a real story because the author used the names of real stores, and the name of her company is a real company. That tells me that the author could kind of relate to the main character because she knows all of the facts in the book. I knew that Darcy would end up liking Ben because the author made him take care of her while she was pregnant. At first, I supported Marcus’ opinion; that Darcy was nothing but a spoiled, wannabe, brat. But as her character developed, I realized that she really cared about the environment, and I felt sorry for the things she went through.
Connection:I could totally relate to her bad karma experience because now I am so cautious, and think that what comes around goes around. I know a lot of my friends who are just like Darcy, obsessed with shopping, and only cares about themselves, and their needs, and they don’t care about the consequences until it’s too late. The author used an original plot, and touched it up with emotion, that made me cry at the end. It wasn’t boring, and although I have read many books with the cheating, spoiled, pregnant lady, I found this one exciting, and powerful. This book also inspired me to read the prequel: Something Borrowed.
Supposition: I believe that after Darcy, and Ben get married, and raise the twins, they will live happily ever after. If Darcy was a bit older then she might not have been a glamour lady. People these days are so into appearance that they don’t see through the clothes, and fancy make-up into what really matters, the soul, the heart or the person. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t pursue looks, but don’t make it your main concern. Set your priorities straight, and make love a priority.
