Book Description:
She has her doubts.
She said yes.
Now what?
Everyone tells Sarah Giles how lucky she is to be engaged to Paul O'Brian -- a handsome hotshot who's financially secure, knows how to throw the perfect dinner party . . . And taught Sarah how to, uh, take care of herself. Everyone thinks he's great. Except for Sarah. But she has too much on her plate trying to become career woman of the year and hiding the fact that her seemingly blissful relationship is all but celibate (those lessons he gave her should come in handy) to figure out what's wrong with Mr. Right, let alone qualify for the role of perfect fiancee.
Meanwhile, what started as an innocent office flirtation with a man named John Wayne (really), has now moved beyond illicit lunches and harmless text messaging, and is fast turning into erotic obsession. Sarah can't get John out of her head and she's plunging deeper into a double life. But which life is the lie?
Torn between two men, and trying not to lose sight of her own dreams, Sarah writes a scandalously honest diary of one life-changing year, and faces the challenge of writing her own happy ending . . .

Karen U. (I just didn't like this book. Sarah, the main character, is a self-centered jerk. Read an excerpt at RedDressInk.com.
From Booklist
To call Sarah Giles flighty would be an understatement. She can't seem to hold down a job (though it's usually not her fault), and she's juggling two men. She's been dating Paul for five years, and though she believes he's perfect for her, they've barely had sex since she had an abortion nine months into their relationship. She met John, a magnetic cad, through work, and she can't take her mind off him. He pursues her with flirtatious phone calls and cell phone text messages, and, desperate for a little passion, Sarah responds. She is content to carry on with both men, but then Paul proposes. Though he is arrogant and controlling, Sarah can't seem to see this and accepts. But she's unable to break things off with John, who is becoming less of a womanizer and more serious about Sarah. He even tells her he loves her, making Sarah's choice all the more difficult. Though Sarah is at times frustratingly obtuse, Tucker's lively debut will appeal to young women experiencing their own confusing times.
