Rachel"s Holiday

"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 has a pair of size 8 feet and such a fondness for recreational drugs that her family has forked out the cash for a spell in Cloisters - Dublin"s answer to the Betty Ford Clinic. She"s only agreed to her incarceration because she"s heard that rehab is wall-to-wall jacuzzis, gymnasiums and rock stars going tepid turkey - and it"s about time she had a holiday. But what Rachel doesn"t count on are the toe-curling embarrassments heaped on her by family and group therapy, the dearth of sex, drugs and rock"n"roll - and missing Luke, her ex. What kind of a new start in life is this?
