Summary: A fun, entertaining read...
Comment: This is the second book by Marian Keyes that I have read. The first was Angels. This book is wonderful if you are looking for a lazy day on the beach read. I did not come across any life shattering and moving excerpts, however I do enjoy a light read now and again. If you are into the whole chick literature scene I would certainly recommend this book for you.

Summary: not what you expect.....much better!!!
Comment: Rachel is a young Irish girl living the high life in New York City, but what Rachel does not seem to understand is that she has a drug problem. When she is forced to return to Ireland and her parents send her to rehab Rachel is certain that this should be treated as a vacation opportunity. Rachel doesn't have a clue, or does she??
This is qute a different type of tale from Marian Keyes. This is a hard tough tale of coming to terms with life, learning the weak points, strenghtening them and taking on the challenges that come.
Rachel's family, the Walsh's are as looney as ever and that is a challenge of it's own, a very large challenge. The real question is whether or not Rachel can own up to having a drug problem or has the entire situation been overblown by her friends and family.
This is an interesting and open look at life in a rehabilitation center from those on the inside and how they learn to understand themselves or continue to live in denial.
Marian Keyes renders an amazingly human look at a difficult situation with a soul-touching grace and simplicity that brings Rachel's story home to your heart.

Summary: Some holiday!
Comment: Rachel's friends are worried about her "use of recreational drugs," and just to make them happy, Rachel checks into what she things is going to be sort of a spa holiday with a few optional chats on her little problem. To her horror, she finds herself in an honest-to-God drug rehab program - and she's pretty much stuck there. Hard to imagine a story based on this premise being funny, but since the Irish M. Keyes is the author, well, yup, it's funny. Rachel confronts her addiction, learns a bit about herself and some destructive relationships, and we have a longish but fun read.
