  <default_description>The New York Times bestselling novel about a woman who falls in love with a man she shouldn't - &quot;You don't have to lust after your best friend's boyfriend to worship this book. Here's a heroine you'll root for and a book you won''t want to put down&quot; -Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada

Rachel is an attorney living and working in Manhattan who has always been the good girl-until her thirtieth birthday, when her best friend Darcy throws her a party. That night after too many drinks Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy's fiance. Although she wakes up determined to put the one-night fling behind her, Rachel is horrified to discover that she has genuine feelings for him. As the September wedding date nears, Rachel has to choose. She discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk it all to win true happiness.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I would seriously have to give this book 0 stars. I am fan of light-hearted chick lit as much as the next person...but for real, their 'song' in the book is 'thunder road.' <br/><br/>i found this book aggravating, the character pathetic and way way too passive - she does even make a move for the g...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14215984">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Chick-lit, but I loved it!  I really, really loved it!  I couldn't put it down! (which was perfect when I had my sick brain).  Rachel and Darcy have been best friends since elementary school, and now as successful adults they live on opposite sides of Central Park.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book because it had good blurbs from Meg Cabot, and the author of <em>The Devil Wears Prada</em>. It ended up being a good read, but I very much disagreed with several of the things the main character says and does.<br/>Within the first 15 pages, Rachel sleeps with the fiance of her best friend ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3687132">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I only acknowledge that I read this book so I can say how much I hated it. The two main characters are completely unlikable, one for being completely self-absorbed and selfish, and the other for being so spineless and whiny. So spineless, in fact, that the action of her sleeping with her friend's fi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21985851">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a book about a girl who sleeps with her best friend's fiance.  And - I am not kidding - I was given this book as an engagement gift by my best friend... who claims she didn't know what it was about when she gave it to me (likely story!).<br/>Anyway, I really liked this book.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book for my bookclub, which is comprised of a group of courthouse ladies and mostly focuses on margaritas and baby photos. I love it. We don't often actually read books and it's even more seldom that we discuss them. However, this book I wanted to discuss. It's disturbing!

    <body><![CDATA[Although not something that would win me any props with my former academic book hounds, it was fairly good as far as chic lit goes.  I have to say, though, that Darcy is one of the worst specimens of woman-hood that I've ever run across...and that is saying a lot.
