If you enjoy books by Emily Giffin and Marisa de los Santos
(TOTALLY UP MY ALLEY, RIGHT?!?!), you will love How Lucky You Are by Kristyn Kusek Lewis, a book about friendship and the pressures of what life throws your
way. (Well, not 'your' way technically, but the characters' way!)
So many authors I admire have recommended this book, (Sarah
Jio, Meg Mitchell Moore to name just two!) and although I have yet to read it,
it is nearing the top of my To Be Read pile and I'm very anxious to get the
quiet time to sit and discover the story of the three women in Kristyn's story.
Here is what How Lucky You Are, which is something I need to
remind myself a lot lately, because while things have been a bit hard for our
family personally, I know we're still very, very lucky!
How Lucky You Are is an engaging and
moving novel about three women struggling to keep their longstanding friendship
alive. Waverly, who’s always been the group’s anchor, runs a cozy bakery but
worries each month about her mounting debt. Kate is married to a man who’s on
track to be the next governor of Virginia, but the larger questions brewing in
their future are unsettling her. Stay-at-home mom Amy has a perfect life on
paper, but as the horrific secret she’s keeping from her friends threatens to
reveal itself, she panics. As life’s pressures build all around them,
Waverly knows she has some big decisions to make. In doing so, she will
discover that the lines between loyalty and betrayal can become blurred, happy
endings aren’t always clear-cut, and sometimes you have to risk everything to
gain the life you deserve.

I'm lucky because I have a wonderful fiance and great friends! I'm also lucky because my job contributes 100% of my health insurance, as well as paying me to back to school for my master's degree!
ReplyDeleteThis past weekend, my husband and I just made a huge move to a new town and a new state where we don't know anyone. I feel so incredibly lucky and blessed to have such good long-distance support from our friends and family as we make this transition.
ReplyDeleteI've been having major car problems lately, and the car broke right in front of my house at night instead of downtown where we were going the next day!
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky to have my beautiful, healthy daughter. I wasn't able to get pregnant, so we were lucky to adopt our daughter as a newborn, though she was born 6 weeks early. She is now 3 1/2, and you'd never guess she was a preemie! We were also lucky that we didn't have to wait long, we waited "only" 2 years for a birthmom to choose us, which is not very long when you're adopting!
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky to be done with law school and the bar exam (well, hopefully done with the bar exam). The last 4 years felt like they would never end!

I feel lucky to have two wonderful early adulthood kids that love living at home and being around my husband & I..they didn't want to run off to a far away college to get away. They are going to college but still living with us.

ReplyDeleteI was lucky to find 5 bucks in the washer
ReplyDeleteMy insurance covered 100 percent of my surgery so all I had to do was pay my 25.00 copay!
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky to just be me!

I am VERY lucky to have the best friends and family ever lately - they've helped me through some very rough events and I am so thankful for them :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky because:
ReplyDeleteI have a career I enjoy
I live in a home I love, surrounded by great neighbors
I have a great husband
I have loving, amazing friends and family
I am lucky to have a great husband, a loyal dog, great friends and family.
ReplyDeleteFor a long time, I looked at much of life as it being negative. Both my kids have special needs and everything was just in a downward spiral. The way I got out of it was to start putting a positive spin on things.....yes, my kids have special needs BUT we live in a city with a lot of funding and a lot of resources compared to other areas of our country. Yes, my son had thousands of seizures in the first 5 years of his life BUT he's seizure free for now! Yes, it's been tough being a stay at home mom with these two kids of mine BUT I have a supportive husband AND we are financially able to also employ a nanny to take some of the stress off of our plates! So.....I always try to look at these things as if I'm lucky.....things could always....always.....be worse!
ReplyDeleteWell, had some bad luck this summer, but feel lucky that the insurance company is replacing our carpeting I guess!
ReplyDeleteI won tickets to Aaron Lewis, then the next day won a New Belgium Brewing Company Road Cruiser Bike ... It was a fluke.. I never win anything!
ReplyDeleteI am SO very lucky to be working full time again. It's amazing.

Recently, I've had some acquaintences face some very sad diagnosis. I'm so lucky to be healthy and to have all those I love in a healthy state.
ReplyDeleteOverall I am very lucky. I have a challenging and interesting job, a long marriage to my soulmate and 2 nearly grown kids.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters make me feel lucky every day!

My sister recently had a seizure at work and fell down at her desk. She broke her collarbone and was rushed to the ER. However, if it had happend a half-hour later, she would've been driving in her car and could've been more seriously hurt or hurt someone else. I feel like there was a reason it happened when she could get help and that in turn has helped me realize how lucky I am to have my family in my life.
ReplyDeleteNot feeling especially lucky.. .but DO feel blessed.
ReplyDeleteI am so very lucky to have a great family, a job, and wonderful friends
ReplyDeleteI am so lucky that my family is healthy and that we love each other. :)
