Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by Marian Keyes and featuring an exclusive Q&A between Graham Norton and Marian Keyes.

Twenty-five years after the iconic one-and-a-half-million-copy best seller Rachel's Holiday burst into our lives, Rachel's back!

Back in the long ago '90s, Rachel Walsh was a mess.

But a spell in rehab transformed everything. Life became very good, very quickly. These days, Rachel has love, family, a great job as an addiction counsellor; she even gardens. Her only bad habit is a fondness for expensive trainers.

But with the sudden reappearance of a man she'd once loved, her life wobbles.

She'd thought she was settled. Fixed forever. Is she about to discover that no matter what our age everything can change?

Is it time to think again, Rachel?

"Messy, tangled complex humans who reminded me that few of us ever really sort our lives out at all." (Jojo Moyes, best-selling author of Me Before You)

Again, Rachel

I was so ready to go back in to the world of the Walshes after all this time and this did not disappoint. Everyone is older, wiser but true to the characters they were in all the other books. Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Having it read by Marian was great, because it really like she was telling me the story she had in her head personally.

The interview at the end with Graham was great... please revisit Anna too Marian, she is such a lovely person, that I would love to see her happy after her awful 1st book.

Lovely

Love the way she writes that makes you feel you know the characters and they're friends or family. I also enjoyed her narration as she has such a cheerful voice. So many laughs in the book and sad moments too, expertly written. Didn't realise it was a sequel, I am going backwards now to read Rachel's holiday.

Some books have the interview at the end which for me a great bonus where I get to hear more about the author and she did not disappoint.

Heartbreaking, heartwarming and hilarious!

Perfectly narrated by Marian herself, I loved her voice. She really brought the characters alive. There are some heart rending moments but Marian soon has you laughing out loud again with her sharp comedic wit. Simply wonderful! I didn’t want this book to end.
