Advantages: Never get bored of reading this book

Disadvantages: finishing the book!!

Rachel Walsh is the main character who is a Dublin girl living in New York with her best friend Brigit and her long haired lover Luke Costello.

They have a wild old time with drink and dabbling in recreational drugs until it becomes clear that Rachel's use isn't just social anymore. The reader accompanies her on her hilarious and painful journey, as she is whisked back to Dublin to rehab after an apparent overdose. She attends a place called the Cloisters which she only agreed to go to at the hope of seeing some popstars!
She is distracted by fellow addict Chris, who she hopes can help her forget Luke, who has washed his hands of his drug addicted girlfriend.
This book is a laugh out loud and cry out loud tale of an addict's denial, realisation and acceptance.

I have read this book more times than I can count and each time it never fails to make me laugh and cry. Thats the thing with Marian Keyes, she has the amazing ability to make her readers do both in pretty much all her books.

Summary: You will laugh and cry at this very different slant on chick lit
