Book Review - Something Blue

After several hours in the car this past weekend on a visit to a family wedding in Oklahoma, I finally finished the book Something Blue by Emily Giffin. Just so everyone is aware, I've never been a big 'reader'. Growing up, reading gave me headaches, therefore leading to a distaste for enjoyable reading.

Lately however, with the help of some suggestions from friends, I've picked up this 'sport' and have become quite fond of reading... as long as the book is right! My favorite book so far was PS I Love You when I realized that books could actually make me cry like a baby in public places (yes... it was embarassing!).

Back to Something Blue. Emily is a great writer with a nack for knowing exactly what late 20 to early 30 year olds are thinking. From relationships to jobs to unexpected pregnacies, this book covers it all. The story of an extremely materialistic girl and her journey to modesty and true happiness was one that I really enjoyed. I would give this book an A and recommend it to anyone in that age category!

  2. Have you read Something Borrowed? It's a great one, too! I didn't like Baby Proof as much as the first 2, but I love her writing!
