Book Synopsis: Katherine awakens on the morning of her wedding, scrawls her sister a note that reads "If I stay here and do this I think I will die," and boards an Amtrak train for New York City and a new life. When she appears on the doorstep of Lucy, her old college friend, she finds herself less than welcome. Lucy is on the verge of hitting it big as an illustrator, but in the meantime supports herself escorting tourist on weekend trips to Europe. Lucy's also coping with a less than straightforward friendship with her best friend, Julia, a professional apartment sitter who invents a new life story for each new lover and lives in terror of romantic commitment.
Lucy and Katherine must forge a new relationship based on the women they have become, while Lucy and Julia must test shaky new ground in their friendship, thrown off balance by Julia's lies. In Something Blue, Ann Hood has created a heartfelt contemporary classic about three young women in search of the future, in thrall to the past.
