I'm not exactly sure why this book is so popular. Everything about this book is stereotypical. The stereotypical successful, single, just-turned-thirty lawyer. The stereotypical it's-all-about-status-and-appearance New York City social life. The stereotypical best-friend-jealousy-and-ultimate-betrayal.
I'll save you the time reading the book by giving a one-sentence summary: The engagement between Dex and Darcy is called off because they are both having affairs, and Rachel loses her life-long best friend Darcy (who ends up being pregnant with her lover's baby) in exchange for Darcy's ex-fiance.
I wouldn't recommend this book. In addition to content, the book is seeped with frightening philosophy like the end justifies the means and just do what you feel like doing, live in the moment, and don't think about the repercussions.
