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.
