This was my first book by Marian Keyes and it took me a while to get into it but I quite enjoyed it in the end.
Rachel is an addiction counsellor, working in a rehab centre. She is herself an addict who has been in recovery for 20 years. As her path crosses that of her ex-husband after 7 years, her life is turned upside down.

This book was simply a delight to read, it genuinely made me laugh out loud and I felt like Rachel was a friend from page 1. I loved every character in the book and all of their quirks.
Rachel’s story was so heartbreaking but somehow told in such a feel-good way. I love a long book and loved spending so much time with the characters. Exploring Rachel’s life (past and present) as she unpacks it kept me engaged throughout and I am so glad that there is a second book!!
