I definitely liked "Rachel's Holiday" a lot more than "Watermelon." Maybe because this one more expressly shows the flaws in the Walsh family matriarch and father. Also, I still disliked Helen in this one too. Anna seems mostly harmless and cares. We also get to see/hear more about Maggie(one of the...
Originally on my book blog!“Of course I knew I was a shallow and horrible person and all that, but I couldn’t help it.”For most of this book, I completely agreed with that statement because it was the truth. I could not stand Rachel and I almost got to a point where I wanted to drop the book because...
No pensé que iba a ser tan dramático . Hay tanta tensión y autodestrucción en la vida de Rachel que no entiendo como su historia puede ser considerada una mera novela light . A mi me deprimio la madrugada .Recomendada para quienes les gustan las heroinas "defectuosas" y las tramas de romance trágic...
An interesting story about addiction but it was too long, filled with superfluous details which I started skimming. Still I was drawn to continue even though the rehabilitation process overshadowed the romance. Rachel's family checked her into a rehab center because of her drug addiction.
Rachel is living in New York, working a job that really doesn't demand much from her which is good because she's not giving much back, she's addicted to drugs, specifically cocaine and is breaking the hearts of her friends. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time and while it makes...
Despite the bleak subject of drug addiction, Marian Keyes succeeded in writing a thoroughly entertaining and funny novel, making Rachel out to be more loveable than most writers would have managed. I thought the story dragged on for a bit in some places but it came together nicely in the end. O, and...
Rachel Walsh's family sends her to what she believes is an exclusive rehabilitation center, but it doesn't turn out to be the vacation she'd dreamed about.I think the most difficult thing about this book was the fact that I didn't care about any of the characters. Rachel, the drug-addicted twenty-s...
I waffled between five and four stars for all of ten seconds before deciding on five, simply because of my sheer inability to be rational about this novel. 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...
The situations described are 100% entertainment and/but, I’m afraid to say, recognizable. The way Rachel thinks and does is weird and still you can think of doing it yourself that way. (Or maybe that’s just me.)The book is not just funny, but laugh out loud hilarious. What did it for me, ...
