The Adventures of Darcy series by Emily Giffin follows the intertwined lives of best friends Rachel White and Darcy Rhone. Something Borrowed (2004) is told from Rachel’s perspective as she falls for her best friend’s fiance, setting up a story about friendship, loyalty, and the messy reality of human attraction. The novel became a New York Times bestseller and was adapted into a 2011 film starring Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Hudson.
Something Blue (2005) flips the narrative to Darcy, who finds herself pregnant and alone after the events of the first book. What starts as a portrait of a self-centered woman becomes a story about growth, humility, and learning to be honest with yourself. The Diary of Darcy J. Rhone (2012) is a free e-novella prequel that revisits Darcy and Rachel’s high school years, filling in the backstory of their friendship before college, law school, and the complications that followed.
