Reading Reflection #5

Emily Giffin
Something Blue
20-30


I’m still reading Something Blue and even though i’m reading very little of it... it’s still interesting me and i’m able to write good reflections about what i’ve read and taken in from the book. So far I have been introduced to a large amount of characters that all seem to be involved in a very complicated love triangle.. or what seems of even more then a triangle. It seems to be much more complicated then that actually.
Within the last bit of reading i’ve done I found out how the main character, Darcy and her what seems to be very evil and manipulating best friend Rachel met. They were friends forever and from reading they seemed to be unseperable. It’s funny to me because even though the two were so close they always seemed to be very competitive with each other and both girls were always trying to outshine one another. For some reason I cannot relate to that, maybe when I was younger I would always want to be the better soccer player, dancer, cheerleader, or volleyball player but even still to this day I never compete with my friends on who’s smarter or prettier or funnier. I just stay proud of my friends and continue to be happy for their earnings rather than envious of them.
One thing i found to be very ironic about this last reading is that I discovered Rachel was the one that introduced Darcy and Dex. It seems if she introduced the two that she was never interested in starting an affair seven years later, but everyone was obviously wrong. It makes me wonder if Darcy ever knew it was going on or if she was always too into the affair of her own with Marcus to even notice or care what was going on between her own fiance and so called best friend.
