Again, Rachel

LoveReading Says

I can’t actually tell you the super original thing about this book, but you’ll just have to trust me − if you thought Rachel’s Holiday was an incredible novel (which surely you did) then you’re going to be blown away by this one, its sequel, written and set twenty-five years later. Back in the nineties, protagonist Rachel had a spell in rehab that changed her life; now she works in that very rehab centre as an addiction counsellor, and her life seems perfectly settled. She has a partner, a lovely home, a great job. But is everything quite as settled as it seems?

If you met Rachel in the 90s, you’ll remember she was an absolute mess. In Keyes’ 1998 book Rachel’s Holiday, Rachel Walsh had such a fondness for recreational drugs that her family had forked out the cash for a spell in Cloisters - Dublin's answer to the Betty Ford Clinic.

She’s come a long way since then…rehab sorted her out. She even enjoys gardening now, who’d have ever thought it?

Everything looks hunky dory until the reappearance of an old flame makes her question everything. In this much anticipated sequel the wonderful Marian Keyes does it again as Rachel bursts back into our lives in this heart-warming sequel.

Tackling complex issues in the way only Marian Keys can, it’s charming, it’s joyful, it’s funny, it’s poignant and I loved it. Welcome back Rachel…and thank you Marian!
