It's unlike the night we fear, it's truly beautiful, the true night that comes. I definitely... will go there someday. Definitely..."

When I first found out Keyes was working on another book in the Walsh Family series, I thought I was in the midst of a fever dream. When I found out it was centered around Rachel and it takes place 20 years after Rachel’s Holiday, I had to pinch myself to be sure. But it’s here! And it’s everything I hoped for! We first meet Rachel as a 27 year old hot mess and now she’s successful, sober, and approaching 50. But a phone call from a former love interest throws her life off balance. Romance, family dilemmas, self-realization, and growth is all present here and excellently done. As a recovering addict herself, Marian Keyes nails writing about addiction. Talking about the ring to Wangnan) " I know a bit about it. What this ring means. Because I know one other person who has a ring like this. You guys are the fatal weak point that Zahard tried to hide but ultimately survived. You have gained power that you were not supposed to have, "Prince of the Red-Light District"." [9]SO GOOD!! I'm giving it the maximum 5 stars but my real rating is more like a thousand stars!! LOL. Marian Keyes is so, so funny - dark and wry and off-the-cuff hilarious. She writes with such emotional intelligence. At times I was just in such complete awe at how deftly she layered the character development. The emotions are so raw and real and vibrant. Rachel is so well-written and memorable, a true joy to spend time with and watch her grow. To Baam) " That's right!! You would never be able to understand me!! You have everything! A strong body, mind , and even the destiny to have been chosen for everything! That's why you are different from me!! You will never, ever understand me!! So what if I killed Khun!? I competed fair and square just like everyone else!! You will never feel desperate!! That's why you can act like you have friends!! You don't know how desperate I feel!!" [47]

Thanks is extended to Penguin Books Australia/Tandem Global Collective for providing a free copy of this book for review purposes. To Baam) " You really are glowing. You have always told me I was like a shining star to you. But I knew, you are the one destined to shine like a star someday, not me. I was just destined to look at you shining from a place in the dark forever. I was afraid of that 'Destiny'." [48]I devoured this book and lost myself in the characters that Marian makes so accessible, easy to identify with and so perfectly flawed' 5* Reader Review SIU has stated that if Baam is a "Typical Hero", Rachel would be a "Normal Person". So he wanted to make a somewhat awkward situation where people would be angry at Rachel yet make her feel more relatable than Baam. [22] Keyes always writes a happy ending, “because you can’t depend on real life to do it for you”. After her father died of Alzheimer’s in 2018 she “mainlined” Mills & Boon novels. And she doesn’t think upbeat conclusions are “entirely unrealistic”; it’s just a question of timing. “In every life we have ups and downs, times of awfulness and hopelessness and then things sort of come together for a while. I always like to finish at the good bits.” And then Luke, her old love appears, in Ireland for his mother's funeral, and Rachel's world starts to spiral out of control once again. In Rachel's Holiday, we meet Rachel Walsh as she finds herself unexpectedly a resident in The Cloisters, a rehab centre, where she is being treated for drug addiction. A drug addiction she is in massive denial about.
