The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton

This is a great book and very realistic.  I found myself getting frustrated with Lily, the main character, because she kept making stupid choices, and since I liked her, I wanted her to be smarter.  It drew me in, and I was very involved in her story!  It is a manners-type novel and deals with New York society in the late 1800's, so if you don't like those type of books, don't read Edith Wharton.  It's definitely worth the time, but be aware that it isn't a short read.
