![]() ![]() I'll admit that I initially was bothered that the story was all from Waverly's point of view. Can she stay true to herself while trying to balance her life's problems with her friends' even more pressing issues? As life's pressures become a threat to her friendships with both women, Waverly has to make some decisions that may not always lead to a desirable outcome. Her other best friend, Amy, is a suburban stay-at-home mom, hiding a horrible secret. Her best friend, Kate, is married to a politician and playing the role of socialite until she receives a rude awakening. She's the glue that keeps her friends together, even when they don't like each other much, leaving her to worry about their problems without much support. ![]() Waverly has been living with her boyfriend for the last ten years without a ring on the horizon and she owns a bakery that is on the brink of financial ruin. That is why the title of Kristyn Kusek Lewis' debut novel, "How Lucky You Are," really stood out for me, and why the content inside made me feel like she really "got" me. I also feel like one should really try living a day in my life before telling me I live in some sort of charmed bubble. I'm thankful for what I have, but I don't consider it a matter of luck. I have been told on many an occasion (usually by the same person) that I'm "lucky." I seem to refute this statement. ![]()
