So he got a new girl, and he got to be noble. I tried to be angry, but how can you be mad at someone for not wanting to be with you? Instead I just sulked around, gained a few pounds, and swore off men.

for me, this novel is highly recommended especially for those who in love with adult romance story. it tells the story between daicy, rachel and dex. let's start from daicy and rachel, they are a best friends since very kinds. they used to sleep over, go around and share everything one another. they plain for their future together as how does if they were 15 years old, 20, 30 and so on. both of them claim that they like a sister they never had. the story begin since university. actually rachel is a friend with dex afterward and like to tell rachel about him and describe him with a calm and good looking man. daicy simply in love with dex and he feel the same way, they live together and take a proposal for wedding and of course rachel embroiled in preparing those whole thing.

in contrary, the 30th birthday of rachel, something un expeted occur between rachel and dex. as like a common drunk people who forget what they are doing so do them. yes they sleep together and just realize the morning after. and here is the story begin. guess what?

I'm absolutely on team rachel instead of darcy or dex. she is terribly restrained herself not to admit that she already into dex since law school, shhe just keep denying her feeling and let her best friend put on her shoe. I genuinely hate innocent women like her.

this novel totally tells from the rachel perceptive, for me she is an incredible narrator it prove by sometime blame herself about thing occur. I hate dex more than I hate darcy. he is such a coward, as gentlemen he should have choose between darcy and rachel not just stay in touch with both of them. he admit that in love with rachel before he met darcy and just decided not to say directly to racherl because he seem not to be her type...... C'MN MANN u such a jerk and didn't want to take a risk for someone you loved.

scene that I hated the most is when rachel finally express her feeling to stay with him and ask him to canceled his wedding. then a crazy bastard like dex just say he can't WHOTT.... then what's the meaning of having sex every summer weekend if it just end like this way. rachel once said

Don't be crazy. It's just a little heartbreak. You will get over this. I think of all the hearts breaking at this moment, in Manhattan, all over the world. All of the overwhelming grief. It makes me feel less alone to think that other people are getting their insides torn to tiny bits. Husbands leaving wives after twenty years of marriage. Children crying out, "Don't leave me, Daddy! Please stay!" Surely what I feel doesn't compare to that kind of pain. It was only a summer romance, I think. Never meant to last beyond August.

eventhough in the end of the story both of them are live happily. I still can't believed a goergeos girl like rachel can live together with those asshole wkwkwkwk

FYI it's old-fashion novel and already filmed on 2011. if you guys asks me to compare the novel with the film I'll yield that the novel is much better than film. as like the other adaptation film, this film just cutt the most important of my own hating part of dex. here dex figured by a totally rich, calm and kind gentlemen no coward, capricious part that I hate the most. in addition, they make ehtan as the second lead male. what ? he even just a virtual friend for rachel and they just meet once on the novel. marcus should be the second lead male,but dunno hard to explain.

eheheheh but overall the movie is detail enough. I often find the same word that I read on novel and they say directly on their conversation.
