Rachel's Holiday

by Marian Keyes

“I thought it was very funny! I loved all the characters! I found myself laughing & tearing up throughout the book. Although I don't care for all the sex talk, I enjoyed everything else tremendously! To sum it up.. Good beginning, interesting middle and perfect ending! Can't wait to read the rest of Marian Keyes books”

“Too long, could have been more interesting without all the drawn out stories. It was an interesting look into the mind of an addict, and parts were funny.”

    “When I first started this book I thought it was just another chick lit type that would be a fun book with no real enlightenment. A few chapters in I realized it was more than that. I loved this book because it was funny and playful, but also very real and consistent. An excellent look into addiction and the mind of an addict, with a humorous twist. This could have been a very serious, humorless book; but the author does an excellent job of keeping the story slightly positive and allowing you to really like the main character.”

    “My favorite Marian Keyes book ever. (Ever!) I love the entire family in this series, but Rachel's Holiday just engaged me like no other. I laughed out loud at her adventures and got choked up at her realizations; all the emotions a really great book can bring out. I loaned this out and it's making the friend rounds (still) including a trip to Hawaii (not with me, sadly), so I expect it to one day return dog eared, water logged and sand-filled but loved thoroughly by all of its readers.”

    “I really enjoy this author and her writing style. The characters are funny--a bit selfish at times--but often have made my smile or laugh. This is one of the best books by Marian Keyes, and I recommend it.”
