Publisher's 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?

Critic reviews

"Such a treat. Like reading the cleverest cream cake of words." (Caitlin Moran)

"Superb. Warm-hearted, wise and highly entertaining." (Observer)

"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)

Loved it!

Thank you Marian Keyes! This was the book I needed. I was very nervous to read it as I adored the first one so much and have read it multiple times over the years but it didn’t disappoint. I laughed and cried throughout. It was such a joy to catch up with the Walshes. Please write more!

Absolutely love it!

She's my favourite author and this one doesn't disappoint. I highly highly recommend to everyone, young and old.

Loved it

Loved Rachel’s Holiday. Love this update. Smart, contemporary, real. The Irish-accented audio (it’s read by Marion Keyes herself!) is superb. I’ve listened twice so far and will again and again.

Love, love, LOVE!!! this book 💕

Rachel’s holiday, the first book about Rachel Walsh, is my favorite book. So when I saw that Marian Keyes had written a sequel I knew I NEEDED to listen to the audiobook. I also though…”it must’ve been hard to write the sequel ‘cause the first book was soooo good. Will I be dissappointed?” But oh no!!! I love this story so much!! Marian Keyes is a genius when it comes to creating characters that you love and root for. I can not recommend this book enough! The books about Rachel Walsh should be a mandatory read in every household!

Fabulous read by a wonderful author

So lovely to have the book read by the author. Could listen to her all day long. And what an enjoyable book. Highly recommended.

WTF! all the 5 star reviews - DNF for me

I really don't understand all the 5 star reviews as I found the book boring, the narration pretty awful all adding up to DNF.
I have listened to a few Marian Keys book and enjoyed them. Rachels Holiday, which I found very funny laugh out loud funny. However, Again Rachel was ridiculous. I found it to be very weak story and certainly not anywhere near as funny as Rachel's holiday. The whole story seemed to be based on the fact she couldn’t get over why Luke had left her six years previous. It was unbelievable and more importantly uninteresting and boring. I completely lost interest And couldn’t really care why her relationship with Luke Failed or if she’s even got back with him because I stopped listening yawn yawn.

I won't buy anymore of Marian's books if she is narrating them. Great writer but not so good with the narration.
