Produced by Hilary Swank's 2S Filmsnote  for Hilary Swank and Molly Smith.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rachel (Goodwin) has been friends with Darcy (Hudson) her entire life, despite their vast personality differences - Rachel is shy and bookish while Darcy is a vain and hard partying airhead. At Rachel's thirtieth birthday party she ends up spending the night with Darcy's fiancé Dex (Egglesfield) and begins to realise she's been in love with him for years. The problem is,of course, that he is set to marry her best friend.

Bittersweet Ending: Rachel gets the guy, but Darcy ends up pregnant and they never speak to each other again. In the sequel novel Something Blue, Rachel and Darcy reconnect after Darcy has her babies, and Rachel and Dex attend Darcy's wedding to Ethan. Not to mention that Dex has already shown that he has little qualms about having an affair on the side without telling the person he's with...

Black-and-Gray Morality: Antagonist Darcy is a selfish, entitled brat who has no problem skating through life on her good looks and cheating on her fiancé. Protagonist Rachel is a kind, sheepish girl next door...who sleeps with her best friends fiancé.

Abhorrent Admirer: Ethan considers Claire to be this. Though it could be considered Justified because Ethan is actually in love with Rachel and doesn't want another girlfriend period. Also, Claire is just plain clingy and annoying.

Big Applesauce: There are quite a few scenes in the Hamptons and a few more in London but NYC is the main location.
