A wonderful read

Rachel's Holiday is a wonderful example of the Marian Keyes' writing. I won't go into the plot details too much, as so many other reviews of this book have done that for me already. Suffice to say that the main character is Rachel and her "holiday" is not so much one that entails going down to the beach and chilling out, but one that involves facing up to the reality of what her life has become and whether she wants to change that.

What I find most appealing about Ms Keyes' book, is the way in which it makes you laugh out loud for the majority of the time and then hits you with the true state of affairs which, in Rachel's case, is far from laughable.

Regardless of the serious nature of Rachel's challenges however, the author still manages to leave the reader feeling positive about life and gives one reassurance that many issues can be overcome with the love and support of friends and family. A wonderful message, I think.

Summary: makes you laugh and cry!
