Most of us have an idea as to what our ideal life would be. In some rare occasions, we actually make that dream become a reality in one way or another… and in some cases, this dream breaks even before you’ve had the chance to live it out.
For example, you could get the job of your dreams, only to have the company close two weeks after… or you could be getting married to the spouse of your dreams, only to have the wedding called off at the last moment.
Such is the story of Darcy Rhone in Emily Griffin’s Something Blue; her fiancé, Dex, calls off their dream wedding because he… committed an act of unforgivable betrayal, for lack a of better words.
Such is the story of Darcy Rhone in Emily Griffin’s Something Blue; her fiancé, Dex, calls off their dream wedding because he… committed an act of unforgivable betrayal, for lack a of better words.
Feeling all alone with everything she has been working on in ruins, Darcy sets off to London in order to build for herself a life of fame and glamour using the tools she has always relied on: charm and beauty.
However, she very quickly realizes that this time around, she can’t get by on her usual skills; fresh out of luck, she sets off on a journey which is as literal as it is metaphorical. During this trip, she meets a number of interesting characters, with each one having something to contribute to her understanding of life. Her convictions and courage are put to the test time and time again as she experiences true love, learns what forgiveness really is and finally achieves her redemption.

All in all, this is a very moving story regardless of whether you are reading it for the metaphors and philosophical layers on life in general or simply to entertain yourself on your free time. The story unfolds at a decent pace, the events which take place in it are quite relevant to the story, adding another dimension to it. All things considered, a great work of art which will cater to most readers out there, for one reason or another.
