Review Detail

Reader reviewed by carmen alexis

It is no wonder that I've had friends recommending this book to me for years now. It was a wonderful novel that has me asking all these questions, and realizing that having no concrete answer is okay. I am a little taken back mostly because I don't think that girls should ever betray their friends for a boy. But from this novel, you realize that the story is never that simple. You have to take in so many things into account. Like the fact that intentional harm... was never the reason for it in the first place. The characters of the people involved. The feelings involved. It is a tough situation to wrap your head around because the narration is through Rachel, and perhaps Darcy is not as bad as she's made out to be. But I do find myself rooting for Rachel, because Darcy is one drama queen that I can't stand.

Perhaps in all this, I haven't really made a standpoint for my opinions of this novel. I'm pretty confused about it myself at the moment. I can say this though... I'm glad I read it. I enjoyed every second of reading it. I am interested in continuing Darcy's story in Something Blue which is the sequel. I am putting my seal of recommendation on it. This novel is for all girls who deserve happiness even when they don't believe that it can happen for them. For all girls who know what it feels like to not believe anymore. I hope Rachel White inspires you to believe... but not necessarily to go after your best friend's boyfriend.
