Something Blue
Emily Giffin
Pages 1 -14
I started a new book called something borrowed by Emily Giffin. I have only read the first chapter and already it is so dramatic. Normally I would use the term exciting to describe it, but then I think about the main characters feelings and I think, “shit, this really sucks for you. You lost your fiance and your best friend all in one night” The main character Darcy finds that her best friend Rachel is having an affair with her fiance who she was also cheating on. It is kind of ironic I must admit, but having your best friend do something that shady would be like a knife in the back.
I guess this really makes me wonder about karma? I feel that she really can’t be that upset with the ex fiance because she was doing the same thing to him, but i completely understand how she could hate her friend Rachel now. I had a text to text connection at one point through this first chapter when I read that Darcy found Dexters (her fiances) watch on Rachels night stand. She has an attack and flips out on the both of them. I was really rooting for her at this point in the chapter and I knew thats when all the drama was about to unfold.
The reason I felt a personal connection at this point was because I understand how upset she was. But mostly, angry. I found out my boyfriend cheated on me once and I thought I reacted crazily by yelling at him. I could only imagine what I would have done if it was my fiance. I predict that Rachel will not even apologize to Darcy, and they will never be friends again. I’m very anxious to keep reading and find out what happens next.
that book sounds really interesting. I don't know if i believe in karma. but someone once told me that what you put in to life you get back.
