The Good Part

Is living the life you've wished for really a dream come true?

Lucy Young is twenty-six and tired. Tired of fetching coffees for senior TV producers, sick of going on disastrous dates, and done with living in a damp flat with roommates who never buy toilet paper. After another disappointing date, Lucy stumbles upon a wishing machine. Pushing a coin into the slot, Lucy closes her eyes and wishes with all her might: Please, let me skip to the good part of my life.

When she wakes the next morning to a handsome man, a ring on her finger, a high-powered job, and two storybook-perfect children, Lucy can't believe this is real--especially when she looks in the mirror, and staring back is her own fortysomething face. Has she really skipped ahead like she's always wanted, or has she simply forgotten a huge chunk of her life? As Lucy begins to embrace new relationships and the perks of maturity, she'll have to ask herself: Can she go back to her previous life, and if so, can she stand to leave the good part behind?

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a feel good story and at first I wasn’t too sure about it but I loved the ending. I fell in love with the characters!

I really really did not like the MC at the beginning. In fact I probably didn’t even like her until 50% through the book. Bit of a slow burn on that one for me.

A fun read about wishing to jump ahead in life so you can skip the hard parts. Thought provoking, heart warming, and a fun cast of characters. I thought this was going to end up being a grief manifestation, but it wasn’t. Book #26 in 2024

Also not my usual pick, I loved the writing style but the story was predictable.
