About this product

Product Information

Here's Rachel Walsh. Twenty-seven and the miserable owner of size 8 feet. She has regular congress with Luke Costello, a man who wears his leather trousers tight. And she's fond - some might say too fond - of recreational drugs. Until everything goes pear-shaped and she finds herself being frog-marched to the Cloisters - Dublin's answer to the Betty Ford Clinic. She's outraged. Surely she's not thin enough to be an addict? But on the bright side, she's heard that rehab places are wall-to-wall jacuzzis, gymnasiums and rock stars going tepid turkey. Rachel isn't expecting plump, middle-aged men in brown jumpers, and more group therapy than you can shake a stick at. Worse still she seems to be expected to join in. Heartsick and Luke-sick, she seeks redemption in the shape of Chris, a Man with a Past. A man who might be more trouble than he's worth. Rachel is airlifted from addiction to the unfamiliar terrain of adulthood, via a love story or two, in a novel by turns poignant, powerful and seriously funny.

    Another great story

    Another great story from a great author. I'm really enjoying reading about the Walsh sisters in Marian Keyes novels. Funny, poignant, heartwarming.

    Overall, I would give it a miss

    I didn't enjoy this book. I didn't like the style of writing and thought there was too many characters. I got bored of their stories and I ended up skimming through most of the chapters. I was not sure wether I was meant to relate to them, or feel empathy?!? On the plus side, I did enjoy the Irish references, being married to one. I think the whole family dynamic is a true representation of modern Ireland. I did laugh out loud a few times at the way the mother's behaviour is described and the fact that the father is the only male in the household and hasn't got much say over how it is ran. If you are a fan of Marian Keyes or/and like this style of writing, then I have no doubt you will enjoy this book massively. For anyone else, I would advise to give it a miss.

  • Compelling read

    Just love Marian Keyes way of writing it's like she is in the room telling you her story over a cup of coffee. This is the first book I have read of hers and just can't put it down has rekindled my love of reading.
