Irish author Keyes continues her pleasantly amusing storytelling, although this book has more of an edge than last year's Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married. Rachel Walsh is definitely not a drug addict - everyone does cocaine every now and then, right? But her roommate, Brigit, and semi-boyfriend, Luke see a problem. Simply to pacify her friends and family, Rachel checks into an Irish rehab centres called the Cloisters, expecting daily massages and seaweed wraps. Rachel is devastated to learn that she is enrolled in a real drug treatment centre! We follow Rachel as she confronts her addiction and learns a lot about herself. The story is funny, fast paced, and sometimes intense. It's also long - and while it is an enjoyable read, it would have been spunkier at half the size. FYI: the movie is already in development. Recommended for public libraries.
