‘A total joy’ Matt Haig

‘Unputdownable’ Marian Keyes

Fearless, frank and for anyone who’s ever doubted themselves, So Lucky is the straight-talking new novel from the Sunday Times bestseller.

IS ANYONE’S LIFE . . .

Beth shows that women really can have it all.
Ruby lives life by her own rules.
And then there’s Lauren, living the dream.

AS PERFECT AS IT LOOKS?

Beth hasn’t had sex in a year.
Ruby feels like she’s failing.
Lauren’s happiness is fake news.

And it just takes one shocking event to make the truth come tumbling out…

It’s starts like an intense train wreck, looking into other people’s lives where things are not going well. Some of that is hard to listen to but it’s worth getting to the end where things start to make sense.

Worth getting to the end

I started this book, didn’t love it, started another. Came back to it a few months later and so glad that I did. It was so good. The main characters all came together and the stories entwined very well.
Each character was very relatable and the book made me laugh out loud a few times. I really enjoyed it and am getting another book by Dawn for sure.

Laughed out loud

Although I like The Cows better, this was still a great novel. it was interesting, kept me highly engaged and I was sad when it ended. an important message but also a light read. Perfect for a filler in between heavier books.

Fun and engaging
