Narration During Books Rachel's Holiday (Walsh Family #2)
Meet Rachel Walsh. She has a pair of size 8 feet and such a fondness for recreational drugs that her family has forked out the cash for a spell in Cloisters – Dublin’s answer to the Betty Ford Clinic. She’s only agreed to her incarceration because she’s heard that rehab is wall-to-wall jacuzzis, gymnasiums and rock stars going tepid turkey – and it’s about time she had a holiday. But what Rachel doesn’t count on are the toe-curling embarrassments heaped on her by family and group therapy, the dearth of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll – and missing Luke, her ex. What kind of a new start in life is this?Point Books Supposing Rachel's Holiday (Walsh Family #2)

4.5 ★Marian Keyes was the first author I fell in love with and I consequently fell in love with reading as a result, so she will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. Ive been a bit slumpy of late and the only books that have made me happy are by Mhairi McFarlane. Ive had this niggle in the back of my mind, telling me: that I think Keyes and McFarlane have some things in common, but it's been too long since Ive read her older stuff. Turns out I was right, they both just seem to deliver thingsI think Marian Keyes is probably the most underrated author in the chick-lit section.My first book by her was "Lucy Sullivan is getting married" and it took me 2 attempts to finish it. From there, enjoying "Rachel's Holiday" was easy. It's by far my favourite Marian Keyes book. If you've never read anything by her, I suggest starting with this one. If you don't like it, I would think chances are slim you will change your mind reading the rest of them.Rachel's Holiday is Marian Keyes at her best.
I waffled between five and four stars for all of ten seconds before deciding on five, simply because of my sheer inability to be rational about this novel. I fell in love with Rachel, and I have no idea why. If I hadn't picked this up at a library sale when my impulse control was at it's lowest, I wouldn't have it at all. There's literally nothing about this book, from the cover, to the genre, to the jacket copy to make me think I'd enjoy it, or that it was my kind of book. Because it really
This book was not at all what I was expecting... I thought it would be light, fluffy and trivial and what I got in reality was a horrible glimpse into the mirror of addiction and saw myself staring back.Rachel's Holiday follows 27 year old Rachel who lives in New York and parties like there's no tomorrow... until there almost isn't one. She's shipped off back to Ireland by her loopy family, where she finds herself in a drug treatment centre. I found this to be an unexpectedly good read on many
3.5 starsRTC.
One of the many things that makes Marian Keyes stand out is that she is basically a 'humor'-writer (and even a 'feel-good'-writer I guess) that is absolutely best when dealing with difficult subject matters. The second "Walsh"-family book deals with the middle sister Rachel's substance abuse problem (not that she knew that she had one) and the enforced "holiday" back home in Ireland to help her get her life in order after a hectic New York stint. Funny, captivating and wonderful.
Rachel is living in New York and has no idea that her drug problem is completely out of control until she accidentally overdoses and finds herself back in Ireland in a rehab centre.Why is she here? She only does a few recreational drugs, doesn't she?This is the story of Rachel's journey to accept her drug addiction and start on the road to recovery.It is so interesting and written with the dark humour and excruciating honesty that Marian Keyes employs in all her novels - this book got under my
