Synopsis

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 and 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 lovelyspa treatments, celebrities, that kind of thing. Instead, she finds a lot of group therapy, which leads her, against her will, to some important selfknowledge. She will also find something that all women like herself fear: a man who might actually be good for her.

I read this book and loved it. This is one of several books she writes about a fictional Irish family with 5 grown daughters. Each sister has a book, Rachel's Holiday, Angles, Watermellon, Anyone Out There. . .etc. . .

You feel like you are a part of that family.

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 w......more

I loved this book. Marian Keyes is real and raw and knows what she’s talking about, having walked the talk. It makes me feel the same way as when journalists write crime fiction, I know I am in safe hands. Having gotten sober herself in rehab, her writing has flourished since. This is a fun series ce......more
