Advantages: Entertaining read, slightly more depth than the average chick-lit Disadvantages: Unchallenging, a bit over-long
"Rachel's Holiday" is chick-lit, there's no doubt about that. We can tell this at a glance because it is pink, has a pair of shoes on the cover and a girl's name in the title. Oh - and because it's by Marian Keyes, one of the undisputed queens of the genre along with Jane Green, Sophie Kinsella et al.

and before she can blink,her eldest sister,Margaret and her huband Paul,are in her apartment
explaining they have come to take her home,very strict orders from their father,and she is to

*Updated to improve on my first ever op, and to give this book the write up it deserves.*
Now that I own RachelsHoliday I am never letting it go! It is a brilliant book.

Rachel has very low self esteem and is always worried about what others think of her, she wants the "in" people to think she is fabulous.
Rachel falls madly in love with the person she least expected to, it turns out to be someone who is not in the "in" crowd.
Things go wrong for Rachel,she goes out of control with drugs, but she does not think she herself has a problem. its not just with drugs its alchol as well.
