Meet Rachel Walsh.
She's been living it up in New York City, spending her nights talking her way into glamorous parties before heading home in the early hours to her adoring boyfriend, Luke.
But her sensible older sister showing up and sending her off to actual rehab wasn't quite part of her plan.
She's only agreed to her incarceration because she's heard that rehab is wall-to-wall jacuzzis, spa treatments and celebrities going cold turkey - plus it's about time she had a holiday.
Saying goodbye to fun and freedom will be hard - and losing the man who might just be the love of her life will be even harder.
But will hitting rock bottom help Rachel learn to love herself, at last?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Marian Keyes’ customary brilliance is on full display in this insightful novel, which tackles the meaty subject of addiction in a compelling and unexpected way. Rachel’s Holiday centres around a shabby rehab clinic in Ireland, with flashbacks to a hedonistic New York party scene. Irish party girl Rachel— shambolic, hilarious and struggling to accept the label "addict"—is sent home to sort herself out, but not before being dumped by the swoon-worthy Luke. While the recovery plot (and the potential for a rekindled romance) reels you in, it’s in the writing of character where Keyes is most skilled. Her protagonist is self-pitying, self-destructive and self-obsessed, but one we are cheering for the whole way in this story of addiction told with humour and heart.
