Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Rachel and Darcy have been best friends for 25 years. Where did they grow up?

Answer: Indiana

They went to grammar school and high school together. Both were also accepted to college in Indiana. After graduation Rachel headed for New York City to complete her law degree and Darcy followed her, finding a glamorous job in a public relations firm.
2. How did Darcy and Dexter meet?

Answer: through Rachel

Rachel and Dex were law students together and became close friends and study partners. Rachel always thought that Dexter was very attractive but somewhat out of her league so she decided to introduce Dex to Darcy. Darcy knew immediately upon meeting him that he was Mr. Right - handsome, intelligent and available.
3. Even though Darcy and Dexter were engaged to be married, in the heat of the moment, Dexter and Rachel spent a passionate night together. What was the occasion that brought them together?

Answer: Rachel's 30th birthday

Darcy threw Rachel a 30th birthday party at a bar but as the night wore on, Darcy got increasingly more intoxicated so Dex put her in a cab and sent her home. Dex convinced Rachel to stay out for another few drinks to celebrate her birthday and the conversation shifted from friendly chatter to flirtatious banter. Soon, the two headed back to Rachel's apartment and made love passionately.
4. Who covered for Dex when Darcy asked why Dex didn't come home the night before?

Answer: Marcus

Darcy called Rachel the next morning when Dex did not come home, and Rachel played dumb to his whereabouts. Dex devised a plan to tell Darcy that he and Marcus stayed out for the night and he crashed at Marcus's apartment. Darcy believed him, mostly because she could not conceive of the idea that Dex would cheat on her.
5. The differences between Darcy and Rachel were very apparent. Darcy led a charmed life - she was tall, beautiful and got everything she wanted. Rachel was always second fiddle to her but as Rachel's attraction to Dex grew, she started to look back on her years of friendship with Darcy. Darcy claimed she got into Rachel's Number One choice of college years ago. What college was it?

Answer: Notre Dame

Rachel was the smart one - she always achieved top honors in school and what she lacked in beauty, she made up for in intelligence. When the girls were applying for colleges, Rachel was not accepted into Notre Dame which broke her heart. Darcy claimed that she was, even though she had scored a lower SAT score than Rachel. Rachel foolishly believed her but Darcy, claiming that she couldn't bear to go to a school that would reject her best friend, decided to attend Indiana University.

Darcy always felt she needed to one-up Rachel and although Rachel knew how Darcy was, she let herself be a victim of it.
6. It was obvious that Dexter and Rachel's affair wasn't a one-night stand - they truly had feeling for each other. While Darcy and friends vacationed in the Hamptons, Dexter and Rachel stayed behind in the city to be together. What holiday was it?

Answer: Independence Day

Darcy, Dex, Rachel, Claire and Marcus all rented a house in the Hamptons for the summer. Darcy tried hard to get Rachel and Marcus together romantically but Rachel seemed to rebuff his advances. While they were all in the Hamptons during the long holiday weekend, Rachel and Dex spent time together and Rachel admitted that it was the happiest time of her life.

It was apparent that Dex and Rachel were in love but Dex and Darcy's engagement made it very difficult to visualize a future together. Rachel was afraid to ask Dex to leave Darcy and didn't want to ruin their friendship, but at the same time loved him and wanted to be with him. Weeks after agonizing over their future, Rachel gave Dex an ultimatum - break off the engagement or break up with Rachel.
7. Heartbroken over having lost Dex, Rachel flew to England to visit with her close high school friend. What was his name?

Answer: Ethan

Ethan and Rachel became friends in grammar school when Ethan moved to Indiana from Long Island, New York. He was an intellect like Rachel and Rachel had a secret crush on him when she was a girl. They were just great friends, but while she visited with Ethan, he admitted that he had a crush on her too.

Rachel confided in Ethan about her relationship with Dex and her betrayal of Darcy. Ethan told Rachel that she should fight for what she wants, or move on. Rachel enjoyed her time with Ethan, where she explored the city, met his friends and most importantly, started to mend her broken heart.
8. Upon returning to New York, who was waiting for Rachel in her apartment lobby?

Answer: Dex

Dexter was a mess and told her that he couldn't think of anything but her while she was gone. He told her that he broke his engagement to Darcy that day and he wanted to be with her. Rachel was overcome with happiness and the two were passionately reunited. However, their reunion was short lived when Darcy showed up moments later to speak with Rachel.
9. Darcy came to Rachel's apartment after her breakup with Dexter and confessed what to her?

Answer: she is pregnant with Marcus's child

Darcy had been seeing Marcus behind Dexter's back for weeks and Rachel knew about it, but didn't tell anyone. But when Darcy also confessed that she was pregnant with Marcus's child, Rachel couldn't believe it. Darcy begged Rachel for forgiveness because she thought that Rachel liked Marcus. Little did she know that Rachel and Dex had been falling in love for months.
10. What does Darcy find in Rachel's apartment that led her to believe that Rachel and Dex had an affair?

Answer: Dex's wristwatch

Darcy had confessed to her indiscretion with Marcus but Rachel never revealed her affair with Dexter. Darcy saw Dex's wristwatch that she had bought him, on Rachel's dresser. She started to search Rachel's apartment and opened her closet, where Dexter had been hiding. Dexter calmly walked out of the closet and got dressed as Darcy screamed at both of them about their betrayal. Darcy's last words to Rachel were "You are dead to me".

Rachel was shaken by her encounter with Darcy and felt terrible about her betrayal but also realized that her life was about to begin a new chapter of happiness with Dexter.

Be sure to read the sequel to this book entitled "Something Blue" which follows Darcy's story in the aftermath of her breakup with Dexter.
