  <default_description>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&#8212;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.

    <body><![CDATA[Much darker than most chick-lit, this is the story of Rachel Walsh, the insecure-yet-lovable middle-child of the Walsh clan found in other novels by Keyes. After a drug overdose in NYC, Rachel is dragged home by her family and checked into a rehab in Ireland called the Cloisters - the book covers he...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38323878">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really like Marian Keyes' writing style.  She's super funny and witty and it really grabs you.  It did take a little while to get really involved in this particular book.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it from the very beginning.  But it took a little longer than I would have thought to take a tho...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66202182">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have read all of Marian Keyes' books, and this is by far my favorite.  First, I have to say that I absolutely love Keyes' writing--she is so funny and witty, I constantly find myself laughing out loud while reading her books and that never happens to me (well, I've laughed before, but the author p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37678209">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The book had a slow start; it starts of with a lot of flashbacks to her life before the treatment centre. But what I loved most was the journey the reader goes through with Rachel as we watch her experience in rehab. As with the other Keyes books I've read, there's her witty humour that makes you la...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29241256">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am loving this book.  I'm halfway through after a day, and am finding it hard to put it down so I have something to read for tonight.  The first book I read of Keyes was Lucy Sullivan is getting married, and though a lot of people didn't like the book, I absolutely adored it, then I read Watermelo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2143364">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although the cover gives you the impression that the book is another light read/chick lit type of novel its not.  Its a good book that takes a hard look at Rachel's addiction to drugs and her steps through a rehab program to overcome her addiction.  <br/><br/>I'm normally not one who likes to read...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71650481">more...</a>]]></body>
