About this listen

A SPECIAL 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION NARRATED BY THE AUTHOR

Discover the deliciously dark and fantastically funny No. 1 bestseller about a woman living life rather too well and being whisked away from it all, from the No. 1 bestselling author of Grown Ups

'How did it end up like this? Twenty-seven, unemployed, mistaken for a drug addict, in a treatment centre in the back arse of nowhere with an empty Valium bottle in my knickers . . .'

Meet Rachel Walsh.

She's been living it up in New York City, spending her nights talking her way into glamorous parties before heading home in the early hours to her hot boyfriend Luke.

But her sensible older sister showing up and sending her off to actual rehab wasn't quite part of her plan.

She's only agreed to her incarceration because she's heard that rehab is wall-to-wall jacuzzis, gymnasiums and rock stars going cold turkey - plus it's about time she had a holiday.

Saying goodbye to fun will be hard. But not as hard as losing the man who she realises, all too late, might just be the love of her life . . .

I too grew with the character - originally thinking that everyone was over reacting to her drinking but soon realised the depth this book has. Full of quirky jokes too. I loved it

What a brilliant book

Although this is a fictional story , you can tell that Marian really kows her facts .
As the mother of a coccaine addict I am really struggling, but although it was a very emotive read in a lot of places , I found that it helped me understand her more .
I desperately hope that she seeks help like Rachel.

Brilliant
