I found the main character hard to like and it took a very long time for me to start to care about what happened to her. It was a very heavy subject matter for what I expected to be light and carefree. I don't know enough about addiction and addiction treatment to evaluate it that way. (  ) sarahjanesandra | Aug 21, 2009 |  Another excellent Walsh sister book from Marian Keyes. All of Keyes' books are great but I love the Walsh books more than someone should. This one was a little bit darker than the others but still had lots of funny moments to it. (  ) janeycanuck | Aug 3, 2009 | 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. 2  Michelletga | Sep 7, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
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.
