So Lucky: The bold, brilliant Sunday Times bestseller you need to read this year

Product Information

Some genuine laugh out loud moments interspersed with bits that made me cringe and also want to weep for our heroines.

In between writing and parenting, Dawn is a regular on television - so could we expect her on Strictly? Dawn is a super hard-working mum; in between television presenting, founding the Help Refugees charity, and writing her novels The Cows and her new release So Lucky , it’s remarkable that she has time to share her life (hilariously) on Instagram too. The first year I lived in LA was hard, and I didn’t know many people so finding new friends felt very forced. O'Porter takes a candid look at her characters' lives, with a well deserved swipe at social media served up with a warning re how to view the worlds of others. For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password.This book is a celebration of unlikely friendships, women supporting women and accepting who you are - flaws and all. Ruby, Lauren and Beth all have their issues and we get to see the real them, Ruby is so sad as she hides her body from the world and her low self esteem effects her relationship with her little girl Bonnie, Beth is lovely and vivacious she really made me laugh, but things aren't perfect for her as her husband constantly rejects her body.

I feel as though describing the plot would not do it justice and can't stress enough how much I enjoyed it.

Journalist and broadcaster Dawn O’Porter won us over with the powerful The Cows, but she clearly held back some biting wit and ferocious honesty for this, her third novel. There’s so many people who aren’t supermodels but are on TV screens, and it’s something we should be proud of. Privacy Notice: Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.Ultimately as we try to hide the things we’re ashamed of from ourselves and others (whether that be excess body hair or a husband not wanting sex etc), we beat ourselves up more and more, further enhancing our self-hatred. An amazing read, I hadn’t heard of this Author before and wasn’t sure of what to expect but wow, this book had me laughing out loud. So glad I got to review this book as I will now be on the hunt for her others as this is the first one I have read.

Making these people flawed I feel more of a connection with them which only serves to enhance my connection and enjoyment. In the background, there's also Lauren, a very famous and seemingly very confident Instagrammer, who is about to get married and seems to have it all. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). But Dawn has made 3 fantastic and interesting characters (4 if you count Risky and I adored her) that take you through the story and keep you very entertained along the way.Not just romantic love, although it’s there, weaved gently through the other storylines, but woman love and self love. I couldn’t help wonder if that was intentional all along - mimicking the one dimensional lifestyle that’s often portrayed within the ‘bubble’ of social media. I could see a bit of myself in all three women and by the end of the book they sort of felt like friends. I felt like I was going to leave my house and bump into Ruby or open social media and see posts from Lauren. She also has the perfect cure to beat the afternoon slump which is apparently better than a Mars Bar.
