I loved this book and have passed it on to other friends! Thanks to Kristi for turning me on to this author. This is one of the best chick-lit books ever. The follow-up "Something Blue" was almost as good. The story focuses on two lifelong best friends, Rachel and Darcy. The first installment is told from Rachel's perspective; the second book is told from Darcy's perspective. Very clever.Rachel is the single, plain, thirtysomething, always a responsible good girl attorney. Something I canThis was so bad. Which is disappointing, because I could see myself liking the writing style. It was the content and the characters that were so bad and so problematic.1. Rachel is just an annoying character. Cheating has always been something I hated reading, but what's even worse is the attempt to justify it afterwards and lie about it. I never saw Rachel's situation as "a moral dilemma," as it was referred to in the reading guideit was pretty obviously wrong and the fact that Rachel continued

And how one always used the other as a measuring stick for everything she did back then and still does. You
Every time I read a new page from this book, my soul died a little more. Cheating is not okay. It should not be normalized.
Despite all my protests and misgivings about a book on infidelity, I was surprised that had the urge to get back to the story and find out what happened. For that, I wanted to give the book 4 stars, but I just couldn't because, well, it's a book about infidelity, and not just about infidelity, but the view point that there's nothing wrong with it since the couple isn't married yet.The book starts with A LOT of backstory. It's eventually important to Rachel and Darcy's relationship, but it sure
