I have had multiple people from my summer job, librarian and teacher friends say that they loved this book. Personally I'm not a big fan. The whole idea of her cheating with her friend's husband to be just totally peeves me. I don't approve it, plain and simple.
I'm kind on the edge about the characters. Rachel is someone I can relate to but my god, I wish she had a bigger back bone to face up to Darcy. And speaking of Darcy, what an annoying character! She reminds me of people from high school that I couldn't stand then and I can't stand reading about them now. I knew Darcy was going to be pregnant but I was totally surprised when I found out it wasn't Dex's...had a "gasp" moment. Really liked Hillary...strong female character, didn't put up with crap, etc.
I won't be reading on in the series but I kind of want to check out the movie when it comes out on DVD.

There are very few things I disliked about the book but firstly the fact I saw the movie before hand was a terrible idea. The book is a lot better than the movie because the movie adds a bunch of unnecessary things. The roll of some of the characters is much different a well so that threw me off at first. I would definitely recommend this book but BEFORE the movie!

I gave this a four rating because as far as chick lit goes, I really enjoyed this one. The emotional tugs were much greater than in any movie, but I guess that's the book vs. movie theme. Super juicy and exciting and yes I'm a thirteen year old girl. Fun read.

So well written, great character development. Kept me on the edge of my seat pretty much the entire time. I was not expecting the ending but LOVED it.

I have never hated characters so much before. I actually wanted something horrible like a bomb or a zombie apocalypse to befall them. This is the boring story of over-privileged jealous-hearted jerks who create drama because their lives are boring despite having everything. Glad I borrowed this book instead spending money on it.

I thought the premise of this story was unique and interesting and I was impressed with how the characters were easy to relate to and root for, especially the main character, Rachel. Although at times I got irritated with her decisions and for awhile hoped for a different outcome altogether, I was happy in the end with the story and enjoyed reading it. Chick lit at it's best.
