Rachel's Holiday (Walsh Family, #2)
Marian Keyes
Meet Rachel Walsh. She has a pair of size 8 feet and such a fondness for recreational drugs that her family has forked out the cash for a spell in Cloisters – Dublin’s answer to the Betty Ford Clinic. She’s only agreed to her incarceration because she’s heard that rehab is wall-to-wall jacuzzis, gymnasiums and rock stars going tepid turkey – and it’s about time she had a holiday. But what Rachel doesn’t count on are the toe-curling embarrassments heaped on her by family and group therapy, the dearth of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll – and missing Luke, her ex. What kind of a new start in life is this?

The book covers make Marian Keyes look like a sort of generic chick-lit read (which, btw, I love chick lit) but honestly Rachel's Holiday was much more!
Aside from the plot that follows Rachel through coming to terms then healing her drug addiction, Marian Keyes is just REALLY FUNNY and the characters sometimes make the funniest observations / take the weirdest actions.
There's a tiny bit of romance but that's not the focus. This is about Rachel! Growing! Up!
I wasn't a fan of her family in this book, since they're sort of tough-love, but I grew to love them in the following books in the series.
