I pretty much agree with you on Something Borrowed and Something Blue... Darcy was a pretty annoying person to get into their head for most of a book. But by the end, I ended up liking it because I thought it was different to read from the perspective of a secondary character from the first ... ... released.

142. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank 16. Something Blue by Emily Giffin... liked it even more than Something Barrowed. As it happens, Cait86, I also had Something Blue on my to-read pile, so here is my review:
48) Something Blue - Emily Giffin
"This is the sequel to Something Borrowed, and brings Darcy centre stage. From the first book, we know that she is self absorbed, selfish, fairly deluded and ... ... as sympathetic character, and I, like you, identified with her quite a bit. In case you didn't know, there is a sequel, Something Blue, which is told from Darcy's perspective. I haven't read it yet, but it has favourable reviews as well.
Great review! 15. Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin.... loved it!!! #53 Something Blue - Emily Giffin
Synopsis: This book picks up where Something Borrowed left off. Rachel's ex-best friend Darcy is now the lead character, and the book opens with Darcy finding Dex in Rachel's closet. Darc ... And I see you've got Something Blue on your chick lit list. I read Something Borrowed and Something Blue on my trip earlier this month and really enjoyed them both.

I had a dream that I can't really remember at all... other than at the end of it, I had an extreme urge to finally go read Something Blue. In my dream I remember thinking "I really *need* to go read that now, and I know just where I left it..." Then the dream ended. Why... why... WHY?!? It ... ... him 9 months later! I love her, but definitely on the superficial side. I have read Something Borrowed first, then Something Blue and I have also read Baby Proof which I liked a lot. ...
#70- Very true... sometimes it's fun to read about a character like Darcy. I don't know about you, but as I was reading Something Blue I could think of a few people I have known that act JUST like Darcy! It does make for a more realistic story. Have you read any others by Emily Giffin? I'm a bit late to the discussion, but I liked Something Blue because Darcy is so obnoxious for the first half of the book. I get tired of so many "likable", "relatable" main characters. ... I shouldn't have been! Poignant, light and fun all at once, it's a great read. Almost don't want it to end! But then I have Something Blue to look forward to! ... really it's a thought provoking dilemma..

I enjoyed it.( Something Blue ) If you are in the mood for a relatively light easy read with some laughs then try her books.
