3.5 stars, it was pretty predictible, but I did like the changes in Darcy, she finally understood that she's not the center of the universe. ( )

What an excellent idea to write a prequel with the view of Darcy. Of course if it would have been the same story it would be boring, but this was great. Darcy moving on. The only negative thing I have to say is that to me this book should have been a bit bigger. Why? Because Darcy changes too quick. I really wanted at least some more change and the reason why she changed. Now it seemed she only changed because Ethan told her the truth, and she changed too quickly.
I do like the books of this author and I was told by a friend on goodreads she has more good books out.

It was all right... I just didn't like it as well as the last book. Darcy was such a self-centered witch-with-a-b in the last book that I guess I just didn't care too much about her story... I found it hard to believe that Darcy would just change in a snap like she did... Plus, her and Ethan? Meh. I just didn't see it. ( )

I HATED the main character for a long time, but that's kind of the point. Didn't hate her by the end, but not sure I buy the transformation. ( )

Giffin's best novel, in my opinion. Darcy, who we are taught to nearly hate in Something Borrowed, becomes our protagonist. At first, I could barely stand "listening" to Darcy's insipid inner monologue. Again, though, Giffin manipulates the reader, pulling him or her right into the story. Before I knew it, I was rooting for Darcy--hoping that she would find happiness and become the kind of person she had always wanted to be. The ability to take the reader on an emotional roller coaster, whipping and snapping them whichever way she pleases, is definitely Giffin's strong point. Somehow, she pulls out the good in even the most irritating, trite characters and asks us to sympathize, to see ourselves in them, and we do. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312323867, Paperback)

Following the smash-hit Something Borrowed comes story of betrayal, redemption, and forgiveness.
 
Darcy Rhone has always been able to rely on a few things: Her beauty and charm.  Her fiance, Dex. Her lifelong best friend, Rachel.  She never needed anything else. Or so she thinks until Dex calls off their dream wedding and she uncovers the ultimate betrayal. Blaming everyone but herself, Darcy flees to London and attempts to re-create her glamorous life on a new continent. But to her dismay, she discovers that her tried-and-true tricks no longer apply--and that her luck has finally expired. It is only then that she can begin her journey toward redemption, forgiveness, and true love.
