Many thanks to NetGalley, Penguin Group Putnam, GP Putnam Sons, for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Sophie Cousens - 5 stars!
Lucy Young is 26 and tired. She's tired of her job, where she seems relegated to being the runner instead of an idea person, she's tired of her lousy apartment, she's tired of horrible dates, she's tired of being broke. When she comes across a wishing machine one night after a particularly horrible date, she wishes that she could just get to the good part of life. Then she wakes up the next morning in a completely new life.
I really loved the premise of this book - it seems we are always waiting for the good part to come and don't focus on the good parts right in front of us. When Lucy wakes up after her wish is granted, she's happily married, the mother of two children, has a great job, no money worries. But what did she miss to get there? This book had me laughing - Lucy's son Felix is amazing - and really thinking about all that goes into making up the good parts of life. The old adage is certainly true - be careful what you wish for! Highly recommended!
