This was another fun ride adventure, was better than I expected at the beginning and definitely hooked me. Many too perfect line up moments but they were at least for good reasons ( ) Lucky is a story that is about a young woman who was raised as a child to be a con artist. The book goes back and forth between the past and the present, showing Lucky's upbringing by her con artist father and the mess she finds herself in currently as she is on the lamb. Through the story you will follow Lucky through her past to the present as she fights for freedom and a connection to something concrete and real in her life. One aspect of the book that I did like was, that you find yourself conflicted with rooting for Lucky’s success and knowing that she is also a liar. Marissa Stapley does a good job laying the foundation for debate of nature vs. nurture and how Lucky had life stacked against her from the beginning while she struggles with the turmoil of what she knows and wanting to be a good person. I have mixed luck with Reese Witherspoon’s book club picks and this one joins the list of ones that just don’t stand out to me. Honestly, I came close to not finishing this one, however, it was short and easy to read so I stuck with it…. Bottom line, although the story was a simple quick one…. I was bored. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
