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.

This book was a pleasant surprise for me...after reading several of Keyes' undeniable chick lit, I was expecting more of the same with this book, but I got more than I bargained for.
The novel addressed drug and alcohol addiction in a way that was realistic, but still not so serious that it would turn off the "chick lit reader"....I would definitely recommend it.

When a friend gave this book to me I thought "Great another boring book I have to read because she gave it to me." Little did I know that this book would be a real page turner. It's a serious story told through the eyes of Rachel, who takes almost nothing seriously. The way she talks and thinks and tells the story is truly very funny and I couldn't put it down just to find out what crazy thing whould be thrown her way next and what crazy and funny thing she'll have to say about it. I'm now a Marian Keyes fan because of this book.

This book was great with it's gritty real depiction of drug abuse in a "normal" gals life in the city.

This is marian keyes at her best. fantastic, sensitive, intelligent writing. The character is sort of vapid and disturbing, but that is the point, I suppose. I didn't know keyes could be so substantial and I really appreciated this!!!

Another good story by Marian Keyes. I have enjoyed reading about the Walsh sisters. Ms. Keyes writes with humor, but this book also had a serious side, as it dealt with addiction.

This was a pretty good read. It was funny and entertaining, just a bit too drawn out. It's a good beach read.
I loved this book! From reading the back cover I would have never thought I'd like it but it was a book club book so I read it anyways. It was definately worth the read!!
I didn't find this book at all entertaining. Her characters are flat and lifeless. A lot of critics/reviewers say her writing is hilarious but I don't think so.
Keyes always makes you feel like you are there in the book its so realistic
Great book, funny but has more depth than her previous book Watermelon.
"Hilarious...A coming-of-age journey of love and self-discovery...propelled by its unforgettable heroine." - Boston Globe
Cecilia J. (I realized that I read this years ago but I enjoyed it the 2nd time around as well. Anything by Keyes is a great read! A bit less "innocent" than some of her earlier books. Still enjoyable and an easy read.
Really enjoyed this book. Sometimes, it felt like the stages of addiction were a little too obvious, but overall it is a good read. Another great story from Marian Keyes about these quirky and fun girls in this family.
This is a very light-hearted read. One you will enjoy.
