Christmas is bullshit. There, I said it. It literally is. Pagans celebrated the winter solstice and then the Christians hijacked it, as they did with several other pagan ceremonies. It's also bullshit in terms of how difficult, superficial and stressful it is. So much pressure, money and energy and for what?One day trapped indoors with family who don't enjoy it either. So, I've chosen not to pretend to celebrate it anymore. Thank you Marian, for speaking the truth.

This is my favorite book and it really resonates with me, although I'm not addicted. Rachel's insecurity, guilty, self-image, it was like I was being told all my flaws and how I could improve. I'm glad there is a sequel and I can't wait to read it!

You're right we give away our power far too often to other people who don't desrve our time or energy or certainly allowing such people to judge or assess us. We have to keep reminding ourselves that those people who feel the need to make themselves feel better about their lives by looking down or comparing themselves against another just says way more about their inadequacy than ours. If people spent more time reflecting on themselves and owning their good and the bad in themselvs than we would all be much better off,its the judging and assessing and the one up"man"ship that causes so much crap. If we kept to our own and lookied inside more,with more honesty and courage maybe the world would be a whole lot better or relationships or conflicts would not be so common

I don't know how anyone could say ANYTHING you wrote was forgettable!!! They clearly didn't actually read what you wrote!! I was so moved by "Rachel's Holiday," and even more so with "Again, Rachel." Your ability to make the reader empathize with the leading lady (in any of your books), teaches us all to be more aware of humanity- and whatever trial or tribulation that individual may be going through OR what we ourself may be going through! I hope you never stop blessing us with your books! <3

„Forgettable froth“? Rachel has been one of the most formative fictional characters of my life. It was emotional and a great joy being able to meet her again. Screw these reviewers. It’s their loss, but unfortunately the loss of every female author as well.
@hannahmatthews60652 жыл бұрын
Your novels touch and inspire so many people - they are scripture to me! If that is the effect a female writer can have on not just one other person, but many, many others, that is the furtherest thing from 'forgettable froth'. Shame on those who think otherwise, and completely their loss.
@carolannaitken58122 жыл бұрын
The book Rachel's Holiday was not forgettable and decidedly unfrothy. Knife to my heart to hear that! I found Rachel's journey , sad, funny at times, hopeful and enthralling. Rachel grew so much as a person and the chemistry between Luke and her was intense. Really looking forward to the sequel, Again, Rachel?

Just listened to ‘Again, Rachel’, swiftly followed by ‘Rachel’s Holiday’, absolutely magnificent. I’ve listened to sections over and over. Complex, layered, funny, devastating and beautiful.

I have just reread Rachel’s Holiday. And although I am not in the same situation as Rachel, so many of the advices she received touched me deeply, this time around. I first read it years ago, a way younger me, that didn’t really process things the same way I do now. You write so beautifully. Such real people filling those pages. You are one of my favourite authors ever, it would be a dream come true to meet you in person someday or own an autographed copy of one of your books. I am grateful you exist, and that your books exist. You will probably never read those words, but alas. I wanted to put my gratitude into words.
