Description

"From internationally bestselling author Marian Keyes comes the eagerly awaited sequel to Rachel's Holiday. Back in the long ago nineties, Rachel Walsh was a mess. But a spell in rehab transformed everything. Life became very good, very quickly. These days, Rachel has love, family, a great job as an addiction counsellor, she even gardens. Her only bad habit is a fondness for expensive running shoes. But with the sudden reappearance of a man she'd once loved, her life wobbles. She'd thought she was settled. Fixed forever. Is she about to discover that no matter what our age, everything can change? Is it time to think again, Rachel?"--

This book was… fine. The first half dragged but I was a bit more invested in the second half. The reveals were fairly predictable. I really don’t get what was supposed to be happening with the Kallie character?

Excellent follow-on from Rachel’s Holiday (which in turn is my favourite chick-lit book). Back in Ireland, marriage with Luke over, Rachel is living happy with a nice boyfriend, a satisfying job as senior therapist at the very same rehab she once attended - until Luke returns to her life.

Fabulous insight into addiction cycles, along with side-splitting encounters with life and the Walshfamily, I can fully recommend it.

A good read and interesting presentation of the lives of people living with and trying to get out from under addictions. Also a moving presentation of living with the death of a baby and how long the impact can be.
