Shelf Control is hosted by Bookshelf Fantasies. Instead of always looking ahead to upcoming new releases, I thought I’d start a weekly feature focusing on already released books that I want to read. Consider this a variation of a Wishing & Waiting post… but looking at books already available, and in most cases, books that are either on my shelves or on my Kindle!

Title: Something Blue

Author: Emily Giffen

Published: 2005

Length: 338 pages

Goodreads’ Synopsis: Following the smash-hit Something Borrowed comes story of betrayal, redemption, and forgiveness
 
Darcy Rhone has always been able to rely on a few things: Her beauty and charm. Her fiance, Dex. Her lifelong best friend, Rachel. She never needed anything else. Or so she thinks until Dex calls off their dream wedding and she uncovers the ultimate betrayal. Blaming everyone but herself, Darcy flees to London and attempts to re-create her glamorous life on a new continent. But to her dismay, she discovers that her tried-and-true tricks no longer apply—and that her luck has finally expired. It is only then that she can begin her journey toward redemption, forgiveness, and true love.

How I got it: A German website called medimops that sells used books.

When I got it: 2023

Why I want to read it: I don’t read that many women’s fiction or romance novels, but I am currently in the process of writing/editing one. I read it to get a feel for how such novels are written.
