Helpful Score: 2

I picked up this book because I'd read the other "Walsh" sister books (albeit out of order) and thought this was the last one in the series. In the beginning I found out that this book actually comes after Watermelon and before Angels . This story focuses on Rachel, the dead-middle sister that isn't mentioned much in either of the other books outside of the fact that she's living in New York. Rachel is a drug-addict but is far in denial about her dependency on drugs and the life of a rock-star, even though she isn't one. Somehow, Rachel manages to find and hang onto an all-around good-guy named Luke and also has a bosom buddy named Brigit that also seems to be an angel to Rachel. To be honest, for the first part of the book I wasn't really keen on it. It could be due to the fact that the hardest thing I've ever put in my body besides alcohol is morphine (surgery) so I don't understand the co-dependent mindset unless you are speaking of chapstick or books. Most of my friends when I've mentioned this book have said they enjoyed it but personally although it was readable and towards the end picked up enough that I was reading it non-stop, I just can't rate it that high. IMHO Angels was a lot better.
