'Funny, lovely, romantic, drenched in nostalgia' MARIAN KEYES

The Rachel Incident is an all-consuming love story. But it's not the one you're expecting. It's unconventional and messy. It's young and foolish. It's about losing and finding yourself. But it is always about love.

When Rachel falls in love with her married professor, Dr Byrne, her best friend James helps her devise a plan to seduce him. But what begins as a harmless crush soon pushes their friendship to its limits. Over the course of a year they will find their lives ever more entwined with the Byrnes' and be faced with impossible choices and a lie that can't be taken back...

'Perfectly captures the intensity and high and lows of first love, and it's also very, very funny' RED MAGAZINE

Light and beautifully told.

Such a refreshing book. No huge dramas, no death, or torture just the agony of growing up. Beautifully read.

Character development

I wanted a ps at the end. Although I also Loved the end.it was the best FREE CATOLOG listen i’ve heard.

Disappointingly and surprisingly explicit

It’s getting exhausting starting books that seem promising and then they randomly turn into explicit descriptions of adult acts. If that’s what you’re into reading, this might be a great read for you. But if you’re not interested in it, it’s rather unpleasant. Glad I didn’t pay for this title.

I enjoyed this contemporary novel so much

I loved the friendship between Rachel and James, the conflict in the Dr Burns storyline and the angst of the young adult romance between Rachel and Kerry.

So lovely

Great narrator, interesting,complicated, well-paced story. Every character was loveable. So glad I read it!
