Book Review: Something Blue by Emily Griffin
Rating: **** (4/5 stars)

I settled with Something Blue along my boredom. Since I already watched Something Borrowed, I can catch up a little on the first part of the book. Then I realized that even though I haven’t read it yet or watch it, I can still understand the plot and what is the narrator telling.

On this book, Darcy is the narrator narrating her life after tragic end on the first book (I think). Rachel and her, not bestfriend anymore; Dex and her, cheating with each other; her having a baby with Marcus, etc. I sympathize at her at first but I can’t help but annoyed on how Darcy directed her life. She was a narcissist and irresponsible and I dunno, misdirected. She lost her prestige, her love life and her last strings to survive in New York: friends and family. Everything changed when she met Ethan in London and I already admired her by then.
And obviously, that’s why I chose this book, it’s a happy ending. Darcy already let go of all the bitterness that happened to her life and released her feelings for Ethan (finally). She finally understood the meaning of true love and true friendship. She is finally and purely happy with her life with her twins and the love of her life. Well deserved. Since all she wanted was changes and happiness, she seek for it and there she go, she finally found it.
This book shows how true friendship and true love really works. That even an It Girl, self absorbed, fame seeker, surface lover, insecure beauty like Darcy can find it with the right person unexpectedly. The realization that hits her that you cannot go on with life’s challenges and problems without anyone who is there beside you to cheer you up share amazing experience with. That true love is just right there, waiting in the corner, waiting for the right moment to come to you so that you could be amazingly happy when that right moment comes.

I remember, we were just talking about head transplant during psychology class - the possibility of it and the harm it might bring to the people who will be under this operation. There was also one dystopian series that I have read written by Neal Shusterman wherein the society are more invested into developing transplants instead of medicine. They call the process as Unwinding - a bill that suggests deviant teenagers may undergo the said process wherein they donate their body parts and organ (as in everything) in certain people or in an organ bank. Well, that was scary. Anyway, here's the article about the current and will be first ever head transplant:

You ruin your life by tolerating it. At the end of the day you should be excited to be alive. When you settle for anything less than what you innately desire,  you destroy the possibility that lives inside of you, and in that way you cheat both yourself and the world of your potential. The next Michelangelo could be sitting behind a Macbook right now writing an invoice for paperclips, because it pays the bills, or because it is comfortable, or because he can tolerate it. Do not let this happen to you. Do not ruin your life this way. Life and work, and life and love, are not irrespective of each other. They are intrinsically linked. We have to strive to do extraordinary work, we have to strive to find extraordinary love. Only then will we tap into an extraordinarily blissful life." —Bianca Sparacino, How To Ruin Your Life (Without Even Noticing That You Are)  ‪#‎ TodaysMantra‬

Book Review: Past Heaven by Laura Ward Rating: **** (4/5 stars) "The idea is that once you really love someone, and I mean the kind of love that fills you up from head to toe, it never leaves you.
