Book Review By Jessica Marler
Rachel's Holiday by Marian Keyes

Rachel lives the fast life in New York City -- lots of booze, men, and cocaine -- and she thinks she's as cool as they come. Her friends and parents are worried about her, so they send her to a rehabilitation clinic back home in Ireland. Rachel is not worried; she's sure that she'll meet plenty of movie stars and rock musicians on her holiday. Instead, she meets other people battling addictions that become dear friends as she learns how to be herself.
