    I enjoyed this light "beach read." It was a bit predictable, but I didn't care. I'm eager to read the sequel.

    Loved this book - it was a light fun read and I couldn't put it down. I loved the character development which identifying them easy - as for going on and on it does a little, but doesn't life drama?

    I found it a great summer read and can't wait for Something Blue!

    This was a great story about a terrible subject - infidelity. Rachel and Darcy have been friends forever, which is just about the same amount of time that Darcy has been upstaging, well, everyone. Even Rachel. Especially Rachel. Whether it was grade school boyfriends or college admissions, Darcy always had to do one better. Now, both women are all grown up, living in Manhattan, planning Darcy's fancy wedding. Rachel has just turned 30, hates her job, and is single. But then Rachel somehow finds herself in the middle of an affair with the man of her dreams...Darcy's fiance.

    This was a weird story because I really found myself rooting for Rachel. I guess that's the point, but still, she was having an affair. Darcy was painted as a pretty unpleasant figure though. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

    Way too much yada yada here. This story could have been told in 150 pages, not 320+

    I really loved this one. I love how you end up rooting for the character who is in the wrong here. The author did a great job of portraying "You can't control who you love..."

    I loved reading this book. This is not your usual girl-meets-boy story. Very, very entertaining and endearing characters.

    this book was better than I thought it would be. Not your typical chick lit book. The ending was a shocker! This is written from Rachel's point of view, who although she falls in love with her best friends fiance, you just can't hate her. a great romantic story.
