Reader reviewed by Alexandra

Rachel has spent the last thirty years being the good girl. Her best friend since childhood, Darcy, has always been wild and outgoing enough for both of them. But somehow, the night of her surprise thirtieth birthday party, Rachel winds up in bed with Dex, Darcy's fiancé. Horrified that her life of being the good girl has come to end in such a dramatic way, Rachel is determined to put the drunken night out of her head. Dex, however, is not so eager to let it go, and the two of them find that they have genuine feelings for each other. They don't want to lose the romance, but Rachel doesn't want to lose her friendship with Darcy either. They have a summer to figure things out, before Dex is forced to walk down the aisle. Rachel and Dex both have to re-evaluate all their relationships, and in the process they realize all sorts of things they never noticed before, not the least of which that the area between good and bad is quite gray, and that by being a "good" person for thirty years, you can still not get ahead as much as someone who spent the same thirty years being ruthless and egocentric. No matter how you consider yourself, "good" or "bad," you'll find yourself falling in love with both Rachel and Dex, and rooting for them to make it together.
