This book starts off at Rachel's 30th birthday party, where she ends up staying out with her best friend's fiance and then sleeps with him. I tend to really dislike books where the main characters are cheating, but this book was so well written I ended up siding with Rachel and Dex! Amazing! Darcy (Rachel's best friend) seems to be an awful and really selfish person who takes everyone around her for granted, but initially Rachel is horrified with what she has done. Eventually Rachel realizes that she has real feelings for Dex. I spent half the book on edge, wondering when they were going to let Darcy know what had happened, while getting sucked into the drama of hiding the affair and everything else that was happening in the months before the wedding.. I thought it was a really true portrayal of friendships and their basis on trust and mutual respect.. there was a lot of food for thought.

I read this book back in 2004 when i was pregnant w/DD. I fell inlove instantly w/this author! I gobbled this book up like it was dessert!! Loved everything about it. Technically you shouldn't be rooting 4 the fiance-stealer, BUT... u just cant help it :) I re-read it 3 times throughout my pregnancy, and every other book she has writtenand this is still My Fave!! Awesome awesome read. Love, heart-ache, backstabbing, bff's, many bars, secrets and sex. Cannot wait 4 the movie.
I have also met Emily Giffin and she is The Sweetest person ever. I loved her and she signed 3 of my books. She is just really great and her work just as much. Gotta try her stuff. Somehting Blue is pretty great too. :)

I really liked this book. It was a nice change of pace story about the "underdog" girl in a friendship. It was well written and an easy read. It was perfect for that quiet read on a cold day! Can't wait to read the sequel.
