Helpful Score: 1

Its probably wrong to like a book where the maid of honor and brides lifelong friend falls for and has an affair with the groom. But like it I did.

Rachel and Darcy have been friends for more than 20 years. On the night of her 30th birthday Rachel has a little too much to drink and sleeps with Dex, Darcys fiancé and Rachels good friend of many years. Trying to forget the one night stand and go ahead with their lives, Rachel and Dex realize that their feelings for each other may run very deep and some difficult choices may have to be made.

Although the premise sounds rather tawdry, the book is well written and very funny. The main attraction is the authors depiction of the many ups and downs of friendships. She paints a fairly honest picture of NY dating life and working life. The characters are well drawn, even the secondary ones. There is a sequel to the book called Something Blue, that focuses on another of the characters in this book, and I am looking forward to reading it. There are enough characters here that I would like reading about that she can probably do a few more books on this group of friends.
