A review by hiltzmoore
Rachel's Holiday by Marian Keyes

3.0

This one was interesting because once again, this is a chick-lit story where the main character annoyed the hell out of me with her stupid antics and low self esteem, and usually that is unforgiveable for chick-lit for me, but this one was different. This was a well told story of addiction and recovery, and as much as I hated reading about Rachel's past, it was an accurate portrayal of an addict. I have a very close family member who went through this at a young age, and for the most part, Keyes was spot on for how an addict can act. I still don't like chick-lit books starring a low-self esteem young woman doing stupid things because she feels so poorly about herself, but the book was saved from one-star land because of its accurate portrayal of addiction.
