Reviews with content warning for Child death - Again, Rachel

We first met Rachel in the second book in this series which is called Rachel’s holiday, this is her journey with addiction when she was twenty-years old. Twenty-five years later, we are back with Rachel, she has love, her family, a great job at the place where she went for rehab, she even gardens. Her only bad habit is a fondness for expensive trainers. But with the sudden reappearance of Luke, the man she loved twenty-five years ago, her life wobbles. She’d thought she was settled and fixed forever. Does she about discover that no matter what age she is, everything can change? Is it time to think again, Rachel?

Before I fully get into this review, please make sure to check trigger warnings on this book due to the heavy context that is discussed and will be discussed within this review. I liked Rachel’s personal growth in the first book and how she seemed to get over the addiction. During this book, I loved her growth, and I liked seeing the reality of addiction. I liked how she went back to the Closters for work after that place helped her so much. I liked the storyline, the only thing that was a weakness is the love triangle. I just wanted Rachel and Crunchie to garden and buy all the shoes and enjoy herself. Instead the last part of the book was just Rachel deciding should she go back to safe with Quin or back to the thing of the past with Luke. I just think that both Luke and Quin were massive pain in the ass and I believe Rachel was better on her own.

I can’t wait to read the first book in the series as I skipped that one and read the second one first and I can’t wait to hear the adventures of the other Walsh siblings.

This book just makes me feel all my feelings. The highs are high and the lows are low. I love Rachel and her story every step of the way. I listened to the audiobook and found myself wanting to turn down the speed just so I could prolong the experience.

I really like Rachel's Holiday (and it's absolutely needed to appreciate this book), but Again Rachel is so satisfying. It gives me a lovely feeling of nostalgia from start to finish.
