    To be honest, I gave this book a huge eye roll when I read the synopsis. It's not my type of book. I'm not a fan of chick lit. I am almost finished with this book and I found it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Still not my choice of genre but not horrible.

    I read it at the beginning of last month, so I'm not rereading it. I liked it. I wasn't sure I would because of the subject matter, but I went through it pretty fast. I don't think I will read the next one in the series (Something Blue) because I HATED Darcy.

    I think we could have some good discussion about it, though, because of the subject of infidelity and friendships. I felt conflicted in me reactions to some of the book.

  • I'm about half done, this is the typical book I would read but I want to be part of the BC and I gave it a try.  I go back and forth between liking it okay and hating it.  I kind of feel like the whole thing is far fetched.

    I read it recently too so I'm not rereading it but I enjoyed it... I like chick lit though Smile
  • I love chick lit for the beach or a plane ride so the book is OK with me. I don?t like the tense it?s written in (and I can?t seem to get over it) or the subject matter so far. I?m 1/3 of the way finished and I?m glad there is more going on and it?s not focusing so much on what happens in the beginning. If that makes sence.

  • I haven't started it yet since my mom borrowed it and I forgot to get it from her. I have read it before and I liked it. (But I do like chick lit) I just saw the movie Wednesday and I'm glad I didn't re-read it before that because I know there were differences.

    *Jo* I wasn't sure if I would like Something Blue because I didn't like Darcy either but I actually think I liked it better.

  • I read it over the weekend.  Easy read, kept my interest.

    I'll read Something Blue shortly.  

    I'm really looking forward to our discussion on this book because I avoided this book when it first came out and (as I thought) it did stir up a lot of feelings and memories for me.

    Re:Something Blue I found Darcy not as annoying in that one and really enjoyed it.

    Good to know that Darcy isn't as obnoxious in Something Blue. I'm hoping to read that one soon.
