3 woman. Their lives are not what they outwardly portray. A funny story for the "insta-perfect" generation and a reminder that everyone is facing a battle you know nothing about.

窶廢veryone has something窶
Ain‘t that the truth!?!!
I thought this book was going to be mindless fluff, but Nooooooo窶ヲThere‘s body positivity, motherhood, hidden illnesses (PCOS), social media(toxicity), mental health, female friendship and SEX (lots of sex). It‘s about what we perceive about others, and what others want us to assume about them. There‘s one bit towards the end, I didn‘t like, but that‘s probably more me.

Cinfhen Overall this was really entertaining, especially with the narration.
Thanks @karenuk - you sent me a winner.

Honestly love this book so much!! Being a PCOS sufferer myself it was so good to read something with a suffering character.. I couldnt believe it when I realised she has the same thing as me and it has already made me feel better about myself. Its a very powerful book, I had such vivid images of it and felt so stuck in it, it was like watching a TV series!

@KarenUK thanks for putting this on my radar! It was the book I didn‘t know I needed, even though it‘ a bit too much at times. While being wonderful #braincandy this book manages to represent different women‘s experiences and problems, and I‘m here for it! It was fun, it touched me in ways I hadn‘t expected, and it helped me escape from my busy mind 泗

(Sorry for long review!)
The 窶牢o Lucky‘ of the title, refers to the way we look at other people‘s lives from the outside with envy, but that our perception is so rarely the reality. Similarly, this raunchy and raucous Chic-lit (sorry, hate that term) is so fun and fluffy on the surface, yet beneath it‘s (at times) heavy-handed facade, lies some real truth about women‘s lives. (cont. in comments 筮ク)

KarenUK It definitely touches on a lot of hot-button issues (mental health, body positivity and dysmorphia, unrealistic beauty standards, celebrity influencers, women supporting women etc) as well as regular genre staples such as motherhood, work-parenting balance, female friendship and sex. 筮ク 3y
KarenUK But what stood out to me, and made me really warm to this easy read, was the way it tackled some subjects that as women, we would often be afraid to share with our closest girlfriends. What if you don‘t like being a parent and hate spending time with your child? What if your married sex-life is non-existent, and your husband won‘t even touch you? I liked the bold way the author took a risk with some tricky issues.筮ク 3y
KarenUK I read many reviews that called the characters of this novel unlikeable. I couldn‘t disagree more. Flawed? Yes. Make questionable decisions? Sure. Act selfishly at times? Absolutely. But I like a novel that has some realness, that shows characters at their lowest points, on their worst days. 筮ク 3y

KarenUK That‘s life, and that‘s relatable. I found so much to empathize with, and found it easy to root for these women, each struggling with something behind closed doors, essentially alone with their troubles, whether in a relationship or not.筮ク 3y
KarenUK The ending coincidences are silly and unbelievable, but there is a #girlpower theme to the story‘s resolution that had me guiltily cheering for Beth, Risky, Ruby and Lauren! Everyone moves on and moves forward, so as I closed the book, it felt oddly satisfying. Fluff with a heart, and definitely took some risks. 3y
Cinfhen Fabulous review!! The cover wouldn‘t make you think you‘re getting anything more than fluff. Nice surprise 3y
KarenUK Thanks Cindy! 汳 Definitely was better than I thought it was going to be! Not perfect but a fun read with more behind it than the cover might suggest. @Cinfhen (edited) 3y
Oryx I liked this one too. Lots of big issues dealt with in a fun readable way. 3y

Shadow Tag is my #doublespin and been on my shelf for an embarrassingly long time!
Knockout Queen is for my IRL bookclub, So Lucky is for #booked2021 and my final 3 are for #CampTOB (though one relies on me getting an #ARC approval!)

So.... I enjoyed the character development in this book and the connection between the 3 women. A great theme of mental health which is really relevant.

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

Funny , easy listen , tad rude 沽 , women managing their inner demons , girl power,

This was hilarious, raunchy, and quite sweet. But it was also predictable and in your face, which got a bit too much for me by the end. Probably best for the beach or for when you need complete escapism, if you like this sort of book沛

Been trying to avoid bailing on this one all week...but I‘m just not feeling it! 144 pages in and I‘m not remotely invested in the story. One for another time, perhaps!

I absolutely love Dawn O'Porter. Her books are hilarious. And raw. And rude. And real. When I first started her previous novel, The Cows, I was expecting chick lit, clever & snarky, but chick lit nonetheless. Well, that one and this new offering raise that much maligned genre, transcend it almost, with writing that is just so razor sharp, so compelling that I bow down to its sheer glory. So good, so funny, so CRINGE! 洟」洟」洟」

MelAnn I‘m back on Litsy for 5 minutes and already grabbed a new book lol - grabbed this with my audible credit! Can‘t wait to dive into it! 4y
DieAReader I‘m usually not into 窶彡hick-Lit窶 per say but, this piqued my curiosity. Sounds like something I might enjoy, so it‘s been added to #mountTBR. Thanks!!洟」沒 4y

Excited to start this one - not least because I think the cover is absolutely fabulous! I LOVED Dawn O'Porter's The Cows - it was outrageous, hilarious, tragic and thought provoking and, really, what more do you want from a book?! This one has a lot to live up to but I'm pretty sure Dawn has the chops!

With thanks to #netgalley for this book.

What a great fun story of women being honest about who they are and accepting themselves. I like O‘Porter‘s style of writing like you‘re talking to your mates, it‘s funny, open and very readable.
