Story
At 29, Claire is full of the joys of life - that is, until her husband leaves her on the day she gives birth to her baby. With a broken heart, a beautiful newly born and an expanding mirror image, she decides to visit her eccentric family in Dublin. There she starts to feel better. So much better, in fact, that James is in for a surprise when he decides to slither back into her life....

Story
Lisa Edwards, top London magazine editor, has been fantasizing about promotion to New York. Instead, she's asked to launch a new women's magazine in Dublin. She thinks nothing could be worse - until she meets her new staff. They're friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic - in other words, they wouldn't last two minutes in London!

Story
Lucy Sullivan is 26 and living it up (and occasionally down) in London. Hers is a life of quiet, undisciplined desperation. But when she and three friends visit a psychic for a bit of fun and the woman's predictions start coming true, Lucy is horrified. For the fortune-teller insisted she'd soon be married - within the year, in fact. Not only does Lucy not have a boyfriend, but the chances of getting one are looking slim. Between the bottles of wine, antidepressants and her addiction to self-help books, she's not quite ready to walk, or even stumble, down the aisle sober.

Story
High heels, movie deals, wagon wheels, shoes, reviews, having the blues, builders, babies, families and other calamities... Many think that Marian leads a glitzy life of limos, television, and showbiz parties - but she would argue that she spends the majority of her life writing alone, wearing her PJs, and eating bananas with a laptop on a pillow in front of her. Under the Duvet is a wide collection of her journalism and stories, all personal, closely observed, and painfully funny...

Story
Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

Publisher's Summary
Until, that is, everything goes pear-shaped and she finds herself being frog-marched to the Cloisters - Dublin's answer to the Betty Ford Clinic. She's outraged. Surely she's not thin enough to be an addict?
Rachel isn't expecting plump, middle-aged men in brown jumpers, and more group therapy than you can shake a stick at. Heartsick and Lovesick, she seeks redemption in the shape of Chris - a man who might be more trouble than he's worth.

Fun, non-sloshy romantic drama and drug rehab
I've not heard books by this narrator before but I enjoyed her style, and ability to easily portray different characters and their personalities. I'll be downloading more of hers. The story was entertaining, combinging the impact of drugs on family and friend relationships, in a light-hearted manner.

This book was gripping
I could not stop listening. Couldn’t help but truly believe M K was not Rachel herself so compelling was her portrayal. One would hope this book would be of great help to anyone going through recovery. For those not, an enlightenment. Thank you.

Very funny
This was one of the funniest books I've ever read. So many laugh out loud moments. While I didn't particularly enjoy the book's main subject and found the main character irritating, the more I listened the more I enjoyed the overall story.

Brilliant story!
I couldn't stop listening, such a brilliant story and so well portrayed. Highly recommend listening/reading this story. My only negative would be that the narrator sounded a bit too old for the character.

Terrible
Over 16 hours of someone complaining while being the obvious source of her own problems. There are plenty of better ways to spend your time, such as reading a different book.

Intriguing take on addiction
I felt educated and intrigued by this story. Told from the POV of an addict I found the reflections, observations and interpretation of encounters and relationships incredibly but fascinatingly ego-centric and juvenile but conversely, incredibly comical. I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Rachel's growth and recovery which was sometimes uncomfortable and confronting but also sometimes equally amusing. Thoroughly enjoyed the book, but I'm not so convinced the narrator was suitably cast. Gerri Halligan has an older voice, so I found it difficult to reconcile with a character supposedly in her 20's read by someone who sounds easily 40+. That said, she has a wonderful knack for characterisation and brought life to all the characters.... but the attempted variations on ethnically-affected American accents weren't so well done.
