This is the first book by Marian Keyes that I've read, and I've come to realize that I should have started with the first book on the Walsh-sisters. Despite of that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I felt that Keyes described so well what went on in Rachel's head, and that I really learned a bit about how the mind of an addict works. Topping that off with a great sense of humor - excellent! (  )MarenLM | May 16, 2009 |   One of my favourite books. Hope they make it into a good movie, not a dud dgardiner | Mar 9, 2009 | Probably Marian Keyes best book. It has her trademark quirky sense of humour; a bit of romance, an Irish Mammy. But it also has a main character confronting - or not confronting - a drug addiction. Keye's herself is a recovering alcoholic, and the ring of truth within the story is hugely compelling. Michelletga | Sep 7, 2008 | 2  No less amusing than the others of Keyes' I've read, "Rachel's Holiday" is a little more serious, and delves more deeply into the soul of the character. I'm not finished with it yet, but it's already my favorite Keyes book so far. I've been reading "chick lit" for a long time, but I have only recently discovered Marian Keyes. I really love her books because she develops her characters so well, and her humor is wonderfully dry - her writing style is great. Each book of hers that I read I seem to enjoy more than the last. ( )kateblinderman | Jul 9, 2008 | This has to be my favorite Marian Keyes' novel. I adore the character Rachel, so funny and real. Absolutely lovely story.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060090383, Paperback)The fast lane is much too slow for Rachel Walsh. And Manhattan is the perfect place for a young Irish female to overdo everything. But Rachel's love of a good time is about to land her in the emergency room. It will also cost her a job and the boyfriend she adores. When her loving family hustles her back home and checks her into Ireland's answer to the Betty Ford Clinic, Rachel is hopeful. Perhaps it will be lovely—spa treatments, celebrities, that kind of thing. Instead, she finds a lot of group therapy, which leads her, against her will, to some important self-knowledge. She will also find something that all women like herself fear: a man who might actually be good for her. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:55 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
