Journal Entry 1 by weebly from Hartwell, Northamptonshire United Kingdom on Friday, October 08, 2004

Donated to Hartwell WI book sale table. Available for trade or on loan to try and keep the books moving! Will be on the sale table every first Thursday at 8pm in Hartwell Community Centre - all women welcome!

The fast lane is much too slow for Rachel Walsh. And Manhattan is the perfect place for a young Irish female to overdo everything. But Rachel's love of a good time is about to land her in the emergency room. It will also cost her a job and the boyfriend she adores.

When her loving family hustles her back home and checks her into Ireland's answer to the Betty Ford Clinic, Rachel is hopeful. Perhaps it will be lovely -- spa treatments, celebrities, that kind of thing. Instead, she finds a lot of group therapy, which leads her, against her will, to some important self-knowledge. She will also find something that all women like herself fear: a man who might actually be good for her.

Okay, this was not actually 'soon'. ;-) Anyway, I found that book very touching as I've spent most of my life with an addict, too. (No, not the Josephine way! ;-)). It's a great story, and well told. I was a bit confused about the ending, though. I don't want to spoil it for everybody now, but somehow I would have liked it more without the epilogue. Still happy like this. :-) Will send the book on to KarinAlyssa as part of a bookrelay!

Received today. I was glad to see a package from Germany especially since it contained a Marian Keyes' book. Thank you Flicki for fullfilling this wish on BookRelay and for spelling Canada with a K. Vielen dank, Flicki.

I really love Marian Keyes although her ending are not the one I want to read ! I agree with you Flicki that the epilogue was deceiving although the rest of this rather longish novel was really good. Although I have no addiction of my own except maybe books, milk and chocolate, I could understand Rachel for most of the novel especially when she was in denial. As I have lots of friends doing recretionnal drugs, I didn't think at first it was that big a deal because for them, it's once a month or less often. So, I thought nothing of it until the ISO day at the Cloisters when I saw the real state in which Rachel was. The other characters were also very interesting. Overall, this was a good chicklit, but with a wee bit of sense.
