Reviews
[Giffin's] plotting and prose are so engaging that she quickly becomes a fun, friendly presence in your reading life., SOMETHING BLUE goes beyond the traditional conventions in a witty and compelling way, and reaffirms a lesson we all should have learned long ago: Love doesn't need a fairy tale, fancy wrapping or a big price tag. Often, it's better without., Emily Giffin's sophomore effort is a joy to read from start to finish, taking the egotistical villainess of her first novel and turning her into an unlikely heroine. Any woman who carries the scars of a broken friendship will appreciate this literary gem, which covers every emotional battleground possible--from rejection and betrayal to self-discovery and pregnancy., "Highly entertaining…Despite a happy ending, Giffin raises thorny questions. A long friendship can (like marriage) turn claustrophobic or abusive. Is infidelity the solution? And why are pretty girls so easily taken in by scheming Plain Janes?" -Boston Globe "Witty and compelling, Something Blue reaffirms a lesson we all should have learned long ago: Love doesn't need a fairy tale, fancy wrapping or a big price tag.

    Item condition as listed. Seller created a shipping label right away but didn't actually ship the book for five days. Had to contact them and ask them to ship it or give my money back. They did dot respond but did ship the book. Not likely to buy from this seller again.
