Review of "Rachel's holiday" by Marian Keyes

One of my favorite books by Irish author Marian Keyes, this book deals with Rachel's life and her problem with drug addiction. We go through this book from Rachel's perspective, amd so as the book starts out we believe, as does Rachel, that her problem isn't as severe as her parents, boyfriend and best friend makes it out to be. Yet to please her parents (and to possibly meet some celebrities) she allows herself to be admitted into Cloisters, Ireland's answer to the Betty Ford clinic and there we discover how much she was actually addicted to using chemicals to deal with life's trouble and the kind of person that turned her into.
As Boston Globe says this is a "hilarious...coming-of-age journey of love and self discovery...propelled by its unforgettable heroine". This is romantic comedy at its best and definitely a must- by! Add it to your collection from Better Books for only KD 3.750!
