Adventures of Darcy Books in Order

The Adventures of Darcy series brings together Something Borrowed and Something Blue, two linked novels that follow best friends Darcy Rhone and Rachel White through weddings, betrayals, and reinventions. The books move between New York, the Hamptons, and London, always circling the same questions: what do we owe the people we love, and what do we owe ourselves?

In Something Borrowed, the story belongs to Rachel, a cautious Manhattan attorney who has spent most of her life in Darcy’s glamorous shadow. On the night of her thirtieth birthday, after too many drinks at a party Darcy throws in her honor, Rachel sleeps with Darcy’s fiancé, Dex. What starts as a single terrible mistake turns into an ongoing affair and a knot of guilt, desire, and long‑buried resentment.

As the September wedding date draws closer, Rachel bounces between rooftop bars, Hamptons weekends, and late‑night phone calls with her blunt childhood friend Ethan, trying to justify what she’s doing. The tension comes less from big twists than from watching a “good girl” test the limits of her own ethics. Readers spend the book inside Rachel’s head as she weighs friendship against a chance at the kind of love she never thought she’d have.

It’s messy, funny, and surprisingly honest about the way real friendships can slide into rivalry.

Something Blue flips the lens. This time Darcy, once the sparkling center of every room, is the narrator. She’s reeling: Dex has left, her friendship with Rachel has exploded, and she’s unexpectedly pregnant. Determined to stay on top, she bolts to London to crash with their mutual friend Ethan, convinced she can rebuild her old life in a new city.

London forces Darcy out of her comfort zone. Without her usual crowd or safety nets, she stumbles through awkward dates, culture shocks, and long days spent alone with her own thoughts. Slowly, with Ethan’s blunt honesty and the looming reality of single motherhood, she begins to see the selfish patterns that led her here and to imagine a different way to be.

Together, the two novels read like opposite sides of the same confession. One shows how an affair begins inside a quiet, self‑doubting mind; the other tracks what happens when the woman who always “wins” has to grow up. The tone stays warm and conversational, with plenty of humor and sharply observed details about city life, but the emotional stakes are real. For the full arc of Darcy and Rachel’s friendship—and both of their paths to something like grace—it’s best to start with Something Borrowed and then move straight into Something Blue.
